Is there anyway to have the hive tyrant flyer in a unit of tyrant guards and get it to fly? If you had a long kongaline of guards you could probably get one turn of flying. How would that be trated by the rules?

No way for it to be "flying" and have any effect, because Hard to hit effects units that are flying - and the unit isnt.

does a hive tyrant have the IC special rule?

Doesnt need it, see the tyrant Guard rule Shieldwall, where he gets to join them as if he has the IC rule

i dont have a nyd dex, that is why i asked. How many guard can the unit size be?

2 -3 from memory. Not really relevant to the thread though..

3.

it is because the OP wants to know if he could line up his guard in such a manner that his tyrant could fly from one end of the line to the other.

depending on the base size of the guard it may be possible but i doubt as the fmc must fly a min of 12"

It's be trivial go get one round of flying. More than that wouldn't be possible.

Yes, but there is also no real point to actually flying, as you gain no benefit from it while in the TG unit

So they all need flyer to get the hard to hit rule.

You could get a pretty long kongaline with 3 guards and a warrior prime and then fly the tyrant from the back to the middel and then last turn front.

I supise one of the units in the group could get skyfire :-p but it is more hassel then it is worth.

I think the OP want s to be able realign his unit in 1 turn, perhaps to avoid a charge or prepare for a charge in the following turn..

but i just realized that when in a unit you could move as fast as the slowest member of the unit, so that means no flying even within the unit.

That was a 5th edition rule. 6th changed that.

6th edition has changed that.

oh really? good to know. funny how somethngs just stick in your head.

It all blurs into one after a while, sadly....

on a side but related front.

can a flyrant join a guard unit that is already joined to a different tyrant/swarmlord?

wondering if a fmc can frog leap around to guard units.

No reason two couldnt join, however you cannot leave voluntarily - the TG have to die first.

Had a bit of a debate on that already. (Bare in mind, I posted this with the intent of never using it in a real game. Way too controversial, and completely unsupported by the rules either way. There's really not enough precedent to make a call.)
