Subject: Synapse (Feed) - charging the nearest "viable" model.
|

I played a game today, and My opponent had mephiston and a Land Raider. My Hormagaunts were outside of synapse, failed their synapse leadership test. They rolled a 4. In the assault phase, the Land Raider was closer (5 inches) than Mephiston (6 inches), but I felt like it was not a "Viable" target, because the HGaunts couldn't hurt it. Is that the correct interpretation, or should I have charged the Land Raider that I couldn't hurt?
The specific rule is:
Devour: In the Shooting phase, the unit cannot shoot or Run. In the Assault phase, if the unit is able to declare a charge, it must do so against the closest viable enemy unit. If the unit cannot declare a charge, it does nothing in the Assault phase.

As they are forbidden from charging the Land Raider by the vehicle rules (pg.76, Charging a Vehicle, last sentence) Mephiston is the only viable target.

I agree with Chrysis.

I have a peanut allergy. It's really inconsiderate.

Chrysis is correct, both in statement and reasoning.
You are not allowed to charge the land raider thus it is not viable. the same would go for the nearest unit being greater than 12" away.

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.

Wouldn't the FAQ change that? Just because you can't hurt it, doesn't mean it's not a viable target.
Q: Can I charge an enemy unit that I can’t hurt? (p20)
A: Yes.
I imagine it's worded like that so you're not forced to charge a flyer or a unit in impassible terrain.

This applies to non-vehicles

You can charge a unit you can't hurt, unless a more specific rule says you can't.

A vehicle unit is more specific than a generic unit. The more specific rule would override this faq
