Hey guys had a few question that I just could not get figured out. Maybe I am just misunderstand but here goes:

A: When does cult ambush happen in regards to scouting and infiltration? And if during infiltration do we do it like if we both had infiltration and roll off one at a time?

B: Does interceptor work on cult ambush units?

C: If I assault a vehicle during my first turn is that vehicles WS 0?

Well I can answer C. Vehicles are only ws0 if they are immobilized. Them having moved or not has no effect on how you hit them in CC

If doing it during deployment, I believe it is during Infiltrate, as it replaces it, but I can't remember the exact wording on it.

It depends on if they came in from Reserves that Movement Phase. Ambushing during Deployment would not trigger Interceptor, for example.

I got a pic of the rules and now just need to know what happens first cult ambush or Infiltrate or both and roll off

A. Cult Ambush when used during deployment is used in exchange for Infiltration. This can get confusing since only Genestealers infiltrate and therefore may Ambush, all other units MUST start on the board or in Reserves as normal. Any unit that enters play from Reserves MUST deploy via Ambush if it has the rule. The Cult Insurrection Detachment grants nearly all units Infiltrate and thus may Ambush on turn 1 if desired.

B. Interceptor only works on units arriving via Reserves since no unit in the Cult Dex has Deep Strike. A deployment Ambush is not subject to being Intercepted since it did not arrive from Reserves and cannot Deep Strike.

C. Vehicles are only WS 0 if Immobile regardless of game turn.

Cult Ambush would occur before Infiltrate seeing as how the Cult units exchange Infiltration for the Ambush rule which is a deployment and Reserve mechanism. Effectively in a game where the Cult opposition has an Infiltrating unit only that unit will actually Infiltrate and is subject to reacting to the Cult's Ambush.

Cuthbert is mostly correct with the slight hiccup of all units must use cult ambush. This is true with the detachment and some of the formations, but you can take a CAD or a detachment which does not require so. If you look at the Cult Ambush rule, it states units with this rule may choose to cult ambush instead of rolling for regular reserves or infiltrate.

Just a nuance, but an important one.

Agreed that it is, I tried to convey that very point but alas it appears that I was not very clear. Thanks for making this point a bit easier to follow.
