Question, if I have an infantry squad on the second floor in a ruin, can a monster, vehicle or bike charge at them?

According with the rules monster, vehicles and bikes cannot end their movement above ground floor on ruins....

Thoughts?

I'd say they cannot.

Also, rules questions go in You Make Da Call section.

OK, thanks!

Unless they can cleanly fit/jam a skimmer ie vyper/skyweaver on the same level, no.

Actually, I think it is possible. The charging model(s) has to end movement within 1" of the charged model(s).

So basically, if a model is large enough to stand on ground level and still hit you on a higher floor, its clearly possible....

You measure base to base, and bases are half an inch thick at best.

Unless you don’t have a base. “Tools of war” page 176

True enough, I guess your mighty Land Raider that hits on those juicy 6s will clean out that rubble in no time.

What else are Dozer blades for, if not leveling ruins

So you are at an advantage if you're imperial knight can stand upright without basing him ...

Models supplied with bases must use them.

It's never explicitly stated but it is one of the core principles of the game that is needed for it to work whatsoever.

One can argue that the instruction "If a model does not have a base" implies that you must use a base, since the kit is supplied with one and you're never given permission to use non-fully assembled models, but that's kind of stretching it.

No modeling for advantage.

A warhound titan, though, which doesn't come with a base? Sure.

Which makes sense. A gargantuan walking war machine shouldn't have trouble attacking a unit on the second floor. Of course, neither should a Knight, but what can you do?

You can take that Knight and collect skulls for the skull god or pox for the pox god. Oh wait.
