I don't have my brb at the moment and I'm in the middle of a... debate. Raveners subject to feed ib. BA dread with blood talons 14" to my left. Dev squad 15" forward.

Can I move 1" left to satisfy rage, then run and assult the dev squad?

I searched for this but couldn't find it

Thanks!!

You must move your full movement towards the Dread. You can't move 1" intentionally (although, if you're in difficult terrain and only get 1" movement, then that'd be ok).

If you choose to run, you must also run towards the closest visible unit. In this case, also the Dread (unless you manage to kill the dread from a different unit's shooting).

You could multi-assault both units if they're close enough, but from your description, I doubt it.

No, because you must move as fast as possible towards nearest unit.

Also, I should point out that Raveners don't appear to have fleet (I'm not completely familiar with Nids, so please correct me if they have an upgrade I'm not aware of).

So, you can't run and then assault.


Edit: I've been corrected, see below.

Raveners have fleet as they are Beasts.

You are not forced to assault any one unit, Rage only makes you move as fast as possible in one direction.

Raveners are beasts they have fleet and 12" charge. I didn't think rage said you must move your ffull movement. Just move tword(sp) the nearest enemy in the movement phase.

Thanks for the correction! I never play with beasts, so I wasn't familiar with the rules. Learn something new every day.

p76 BGB: "In the movement phase, units subject to rage must always move as fast as possible towards the closest visible enemy."

Bah. I owe a cheeseburger now

Please note that you don't have to move every model in the unit towards the closest enemy to the unit. You can move only one guy directly at the closest target, then chain out the rest behind him.

That might let you multi-assault if you had enough Raveners.

How in the great googlie mooglie would that work... let's say I have 9 raveners and I roll hight enought to multi assilt two groups 15" frrom each other.. id be so out of coheasion after pile in's it'd be silly!

Darkness ---- You have to move as fast as possible (ie. max movement) toward the nearest enemy. The squad is effected as a whole. not just one guy. That means the whole squad is going to have to move max distance at the closest enemy model. If you run its the same thing. In assault you can charge anyone you choose, providing your in range for the charge.

That's not correct. Please see this forum about it. You don't have to move every model its maximum move towards the nearest target.

Well, you can't leave coherency. I was just saying it was possible.

You cannot move out of coherency. If you cannot complete a movement without moving your squad out of coherency, you cannot make that move.

When measuring the distances between two units, use the closest models as your reference points...So, for example, if any model in a unit is within 2" of an enemy unit/model, the unit is said to be within 2" of that enemy unit/model.
