If they made use of their Infiltrate special rule to deploy, then no.

"A unit that deploys using these rules cannot charge in their first turn."

Just checked my old book and they could. They couldn't charge on the first turn. Turn = player turn (in 6th). Unless I missed something else?


@OP ignore the above line.
As far as 7th (current) edition is concerned, you can't charge with anything that scouted or infiltrated on the first game turn.

I believe it was in the rulebook FAQ, if I remember correctly, so it came later.

From the 6th edition rulebook FAQ v1.5:

Q: The rulebook states "A unit that makes a Scout redeployment
cannot charge in the first turn." Does this mean that if your
opponent has the first turn and you go second, your Scouting
unit can charge? (p41)
A: Yes.

The wording for Scout (and Infiltrate) changed in 7th edition so this is obviously no longer possible.

Use of the infiltrate rule is not optional. If a unit has the infiltrate rule it must deploy after all other units, it may not be deployed at the same time as non-infiltrators. So even if you deploy your infiltrators in your own deployent zone they may not assault during game turn 1

They can come from Reserves, then the Reserves rules prevent it.

Does that mean that a Callidus Assassin, even being 1" away from enemy models, can not charge on her first turn?

Yes, the Polymorphine rule specificially states that she is still using her Infiltrate rule - she just can be set up somewhere different. She's still Infiltrating. The same thing applies if you have her coming in from Reserves.

The enemy always get a turn of shooting at her, but only Snap Shots because of Polymorphine.
