The Wolfpack Flanking Force for SW allows for outflank and assault from reserves. I believe it's the only thing left in the game that can do this.

BAs can assault from reserve.

With enough spyders, 35" is perfectly possible, not ideal or effective, but possible.

1. deploy say 3 scarabs in base to base at the 12" line (total difference 0")
2. move all the spyders forward ~6", and spawn scarabs, spawn 1 2"ahead of the foremost scarab, spawn another 2" ahead of that .
Repeat until 6" ahead of the foremost spyder , (total difference 12")
3. move scarabs 12" (total 24)
4 . charge 12 (total 36)

You do need a fair ammount of spyders, at least 5. but it is certainly possible to charge that far, as "all scarabs may move and act normally the turn they are spawned"

EDIT: probably should have specified i meant more than one spyder, not really feasible in the decurion.

Oh god, they didn't add the prevision that the Scarab has to be in coherence with a non-spawned Scarab. The return of the Turn 1 Scarab Chain Charge is nigh!

They did.

He is working around that (Daisy chain in 2" coherency from a non-spawned Scarab).

Wrong. There is no longer a requirement that the new scarab base be put in coherency with a base already on the table at the start of the turn. The only requirements are that you place it in coherency with a scarab unit and that it be placed within 6" of the generating spider.

I don't see that in the rule. The rule says you can add a scarab to a friendly Canoptek Scarab within 6" up to 6" away.
Unless you can quote it for me, I can't see anything to prevent people from making a chain of 9 Scarabs going into no man's land like before the 5e FAQ. The only limitation is having the Spyders in range to place them.

Ah, Coherency with a Base already on table =/= coherency with Scarab Unit already on table. Sorry, i thought "they didn't add the prevision that the Scarab has to be in coherence with a non-spawned Scarab" meant "You can place them 6" away from the Unit they're supposed to belong to." Which i was saying was incorrect.

I was quite certain they still have to be in coherency (with the Unit - but not the original scarab model - got the point)

I made a 44" assault turn 1 last Wednesday. Though not technically a charge, I also sadly killed one immortal in the close combat and he unlucky failed the moral check and ran off the board. I apologized like 50 times to my buddy Phil.
