Hey guys,

This is my first post here on Dakka. I've been browsing for awhile learning the ins and outs of 40k and finally have a question of my own. I looked over the last few pages and did a search but could not find the answer to this, as well as looked through the codex and BRB.

I'm playing a 2v2 (for fun) with a some friends next week. My team mate is brand new and will be playing a 500pt Ork army to supplement my 2000pt Ig army. I'm not specifically looking for help with tactics but I do have a question on a rule.

Normally when a unit arrives from reserves it cannot assault. When declaring a Waaagh!, though, you may assault after rolling for your Waaagh! move. My question is, does the Waaagh! assault ruling trump the Reserve non-assault rule or vice-versa?

I.e: A unit of Ork Boyz arrives from reserve on Game Turn 2. They move their normal 6" move by coming onto the table edge. Can they then declare a Waaagh! to move another D6" and assault with 2d6" after?

I'm assuming you can't assault, as it says in the waaagh! ruling: "...and may assault as normal". And coming in from reserves you normally cannot.

Just wanted a clear cut answer from you guys as you seem to know your stuff.

Thanks!

No, read the errata. Waagh! JUST gives you fleet.

Right, so no assaulting even after a non-reserve unit declaring a Waaagh! now? Fleet just allows you to re-roll dice when running and charging correct? Don't have the BRB accessible at the moment.

Thanks for the help.

Declaring a waaagh! gives you fleet, so you CAN charge when waaaagh!ing, but not if you have run.
