Yesterday I had a game against orcs that raised a number of questions.

Scenerio: My opponent charged with the Gargantuan Squiggoth into a Bloat Drone and Foul Blightspawn. After moving (before declaring any other charges) he resolved his stompy rule, which killed my foul blightspawn. This cleared him and then he declared a charge with a different model to a model that was behind the spawn. Is this legal or do you need to declare all your charges, one at a time, before resolving charge abilities? I know you roll for overwatch for each unit as they are charged. This was a weird scenario.

When does the rule say it is resolved? If at the end of the Charge Move, than it was correct to resolve the rule before moving on to declaring his next charge. Charges are declared and resolved before declaring the next charge.

Yep, the ork player was right.

Ah I see, yes then it was legal.

Follow up question, the guy declared a charge that would have caused the Gargantuan to "pass through" 2 Poxwalkers, this is an illegal move, correct?

Aye, your opponent probably presumed that the titanic keyword gave them the ability to walk over infantry but that has to be given as a separate rule now.

Well the way he would have been placed he would have been "standing" on the unit, but the squiggoth didn't have a base and I didn't know what to do lol. The charge rule killed the two poxwalkers, but yeah, I assumed it was completely illegal. Thanks!

To be strictly correct, he can declare a charge against any unit that is with 12", regardless of whether he can actually reach them.

After Overwatch, he rolls his charge distance and then moves up to the charge distance if that will leave with within 1" of a model in a charged unit and does require movement within 1" of a model not in a unit he charged. As normal, he cannot move through other models unless he has a rule that states otherwise.

As to whether he can loom over other models when he doesn't have a base, not well defined in the rules.

Right, the poxwalkers in question were "in the path" he would have to take to charge. The Squiggoth had 2 disembarked HQ models on both sides of it, so it wouldn't be able to "curve" around the poxwalkers to avoid them. Instead, he charged straight through and "loomed" over the poxwalkers after completing the charge.

Did the poxwalkers fit under the squiggoth without having to move the poxwalkers models in any way?

That doesn't matter - two models cant occupy the same space, as you can't be within 1" of an enemy model, and can't be on top of your own models. Being under it certainly isn't more than 1" away.

He can be within 1” but would have to declare them as a target.

Of course. Can't be on top though, so point stands.
