Make sure you model stairs onto your ruins for upper floor access.

Or I guess you could just move a shooty unit into a good view of the unit on the top floor and dakka them to death.

Nice for armies that can effectiveiy shoot. Whatabout armies that can't?

Best to ignore the rules on this and play with a house rule. The actual rules are pretty clear - if you can't get within 1 " of an enemy model (even if it's because you physically can't place it) you can't actually have a successful charge.

Do you know what's even more ridiculous? A deff rolla battlewagon can run over infantry on top of one of the KT ruins with its deff rolla.

At the beginning of each game (no matter whether I'm playing DG or orks), I offer my opponent to allow measuring to and from all models as if they were a cylinder as high as the model in question, ignoring banners and antennas. I have yet to have someone refuse, though some are irritated when I tell them about the official ruling.

That's why this topic caught my eye - I'm building a Khorne warband and I'm more or less not going to bother with guns.
But it means a shooty enemy could deploy up a ruin and they'd be effectively invincible.

However, I also make the terrain so I'm going to be modelling intermediate floors 1" apart or stairs.

For that matter, how would a guy carrying a heavy bolter climb up a ruin if there were no stairs? I think I'm digressing.
