So I've considered using my DP in my CSM army for the first time this edition with Wings/MoT/Black Mace, however a question came to mind. If a FMC charges through difficult terrain, wouldn't it drop to initiative 1? It's not equipped with assault grenades nor does it have any special rules that I see preventing this, however I haven't actually played with any MC's this edition other then when one of my champions turns into a basic DP for a turn or two. I bring this up because I've read from other CSM players the many praises they lavish upon DP when "used correctly", but on most of the tables I've played there is usually plenty of terrain for my enemy to hide within and I'd hate to strike after my opponents every time I try to get up close and personal. Thanks for the assistance mates!

It strikes at Initiative 1. Being a MC doesn't offer any protection against it.

Thanks for the help!

Though if you don't use your wings in the movement phase you can use them in the assault phase to jump over intervening terrain (and reroll your charge), so as long as you didn't start or end your assault in terrain you wouldn't count as charging through terrain.

MTC is borked this edition. No idea why they did what they did with it.
