Hello all!

Do terminators shoot their heavy weapons with a -1 penalty the turn in which they arrive on the board due to teleport strike (counting as having moved)?

Thanks!

**promithius**

Yes.

**spartiatis**

Thanks for the reply, but how is this justified by the rules? In teleport strike it reads" are set up on thebattlefield "

**gkos**

I asked this very question at the GW shop yesterday during a game. Their opinion was there was no -1 to hit for heavy.

Core rules, pg.3, right side, reinforcements.

Thanks!

It states "Units that arrive as reinforcements count as having moved in their movement phase for all rule purposes, such as shooting Heavy Weapons"

So reading that, it certinaly should be -1 for heavy on a Terminator, as the previous replies state.

I guess I shall have to tell my local GW

p.s. in my defence, I argued for it being -1

Note the recent GK faq answer, which also clarified that, even though the models don't move and nothing says they count as having moved, Gate of Infinity has made them move.

I think the RAI is basically, "If a model's position on the table changes in the Move or Psychic phase, then it counts as having moved in the Shooting Phase."

That's the RAI I got from that curious faq, and I think if it can convince me it can convince a lot of other stubborn people as well

I think the only exception would be for units that can disembark from their transports mid-move, like from Valkyries.
