Simply, can you use Orbital strike for "I've been expecting you" shooting attack even if you moved in your own preceding movement phase?

OSR calls for you not moving in the preceding ovement phase. Is your opponent's ongoing movement phase counted for this, or is shooting this disallowed? How about other heavy weapons?

No. If you didn't move mabye, I'm not sure two IC's can join the same unit though and since Coteaz has no OSR....

Anyway why would you want too? It scatters the full 2 D6 and since they're within 12" of you, well you might destroy yourself.

There is no rule forbidding IC from joining units containing other IC, or lone IC for that matter.

My idea for using this is a shooty henchman unit (servitors, psykers) joined by a Techmarine for a REALLY dangerous unit in 3+ cover. They also boast 3 mastery levels betwen them, so make everyone strike at s6 or better. It is, however a point sink.

As for it scattering on me, I'd have to get pretty abyssmal rolls in order to hit myself, and even worse for them to get through ablative wounds.

Incorrect. You may fire any heavy, rappid fire and ordnace weapons as stationary, because you were stationary during this turn. Also you can attach any amount of ICs to a unit and to each other. Have fun with blasting enemy reserves with up to 4 Orbital Strike Relays. May the scatter dice be with you.

How is me saying that if he moved he can't fire a OSR Incorrect? RAW would state I'm right.

He can't move during his opponents turn, so he would always be stationary. Even forced moves would happen after reserves arrive.

RAW you arent, as the rule is "the" preceding movement phase; so whether the model moved on their turn or not the OSR CAN be fired in the opponents turn.

Unfortunately RAW he is correct. As you pointed out it is movement in the preceding movement phase that denies firing with the OSR; The preceding movement phase is your movement phase(unless you are playing a 1x1x1 or more game); "I've been waiting for you" happens during the opponents movement phase, that would be the current movement phase.

Hmm, guess you're right on that....for some reason I had it back to being shooting phase, for some reason...

I figured; it's cool.
