Hi all, was watching a game at local, and saw a dispute. Ultimately, the GW employee made a ruling, but I am curious, as I'll explain.
So, it was a Basic SM v. CSM. On SM guy's turn, he completely surrounded the CSM guy's LR with bikes, and tried to pop it via melta. A few poor rolls later, it is the CSM's turn, and he, despite the complete entrapment, picked up his LR and moved it 12", right through the wall of bikes. Long story short, SM guy said he can't do that, CSM said he could. The ruling was he could. Is this the right call? What rules back this up?
Thanks!

Both players should be using the least durable units possible, with the house rule that all players remove an article of clothing every time you lose a unit, and take a drink every time you kill one of your opponent's units.
I have no idea which army will be triumphant, but I can assure you that everyone wins.

He could easily tank shock through them. Of course he'd better steer clear of the melta gun guys.

If the CSM player declared a tank shock and how many inches he would be moving, and the SM bikers didn't Death or Glory, then the move was 100% legal.
The bike unit would have to declare Death or Glory, if he didn't want to Death or Glory that is fine, but either way the bike unit needs to pass a morale test or fall back, but this does not affect the Land Raider's move at all.
Edit: spelling

I just read the rules for Tank Shock in detail, it mentions that it is the only exception to moving through enemy units. Thus GW guy was wrong, as CSM never declared a shock, just drove through. Thanks!
