Hi people !
So I was searching for a source that would indicate if charging on the same turn a unit deployed from reserve was possible.
It's for a friend of mine who hasn't played since 7ed.

You can do it.

Theres no rule explicitly saying so, because there doesn't need to be.

A model normally can charge, and deep striking doesn't place any restriction on that.

Note that there is no universal "Deep Strike" rule in 8e, every unit thay can do this sort of thing has it's own unique rule (even if the text of that rule is usually identical, occasionally there are variations). The term Deep Strike is just used by the community as a holdover from 7e. There are some general rules around arriving as reserves though, which will generally apply.

One thing regularly trips up new players here is that if you cannot deploy within 9" of an enemy, you will need to roll at least a 9 on your charge roll to get within 1". If an 8 gets you within 1", then logically you must have started within 9" and so deployed illegally.

I can't remember where it is mentioned, and there are so many documents now to go through them all but the "You can't move for any reason when deepstriking except charge" is what your looking for.

Hopefully someone else remembers where this bit is mentioned.

It’s in the rule book FAQ and errata, page 11 under “Reinforcements”, sixth question.

Q. The rules for reinforcements say that when a unit is set up on the battlefield as reinforcements, it cannot move or Advance further that turn, but can otherwise act normally (shoot, charge, etc.).
Can such a unit make a charge move? Can it pile in
and consolidate?
A: Yes to both questions – the unit can declare a charge and make a charge move, and if it is chosen to fight, it can pile in and consolidate.

And while the FAQ does explicitly answer the question, it's a "silly question" included for those suffering Edition Lag since the Reinforcements rules already says you can charge.

The RAW quite literally states you are allowed to charge. You are allowed to charge. No argument possible.

well he can't arque against everybody else by sticking to raw here so to get to arque he goes against raw here.

Thank you all for your answers !
