So....you have a squad of bikers....I'll represent them as such.... _ _ _ _

They charge an enemy unit represented as such...0 0 0 0

Normally when you charge, you see this. _ 0

I recently saw someone claim they can do this....since bikes have no "facing"...

They charge with the longways of the base....

Legal or not? It would make a huge difference for multi charges.....

It is legal nothing says how you have to put the base.infantry have no foward or back or side facings.

**Ascalam**

Legal, as long as they parked them that way at the end of the movement phase, i think. I don't have the rulebook on mem to check.

A bit shenaniganesque though...

**kight**

They would not even have to be that way during movement all that is requered is base contact does not matter orientation of the model.

Exactly, though you still can not move more than 6"

so you measure from the base, out 6" and that is the extent of your move/assault. Turning the bike has no bearing on how far it can move.

It's very useful for coherency and for squeezing more models in though!
