When a herald of slannesh uses Siren Song on a unit that cannot charge her unit... must they attempt that charge regardless? Or instantly panic?

Also... if that unit has to charge into another unit to get to her, do they charge into that unit.

For example say this happens

MOURNFANG

HORDE OF BLOOD
LETTERS. SCARY

Herald of Slannesh

Do the mournfang charge the bloodletters? Or do they panic since they cant charge the herald of slannesh?

Or.

MOURNFANG

HUGE SCARY UNIT
OF IRONGUTS. WOW

HORDE OF BLOOD
LETTERS. SCARY

Herald of Slannesh


Would the mournfang unit charge the ironguts in the rear?

Hey
simple, you cant use siren song unless the opponent can charge you

I believe Siren Song can only be used to force a legal charge- so it can't be used if you can't get to the target.

then what is the point of the flee option since nobody would ever choose that

Id say flee option is the more commonly used. Since you will always attempt to use siren song to get the enemy unit in a position thats good for you, crappy for him. Killing a 100p siren herald might not be worth the trip for the enemy, therefore he will flee it.

Also you can screw marches if they are in long charge ranges.

MOURNFANG. WOW. WANTS TO CRUSH YOU

YOU. TOO SEXY FOR YOUR PANTS.

Since they can charge 7"+12", you can force them to charge and hope for boxcars, and then trott forward 1"-6". Or they can swiftstride flee... Either way it's at least one wasted turn for the big stompy unit... Allowing for dividing and something else I forget.

It's actually 8"+12", and can be 9" + 12", but that's nit picking
