Hi everybody, I would like to make a very simple question: do Summoned Units get the chance to declare a Charge or not? It is clear that they cannot move in the movement phase, so I think they cannot run either, but can they charge?
In my group they say Summoned Units cannot move, so they cannot charge, but I tend to think that's only referred to movement phase.
I would very like someone answers clearly (maybe there's a specific FAQ about this), I need help!

They say wrong things then. You can charge after "summoning".

Thank you very much, so another question: given that also units that are set aside during deployment (let's say Skaven Gutter Runners) cannot move, can they charge then?

Yes, they can charge. They have moved already but it doesn't impede them from charging.

Most summoning type abilities say that the setup counts as their movement for the movement phase. It doesn't usually say they cannot move. Therefore, they can charge. Most of them have to setup 9" away so that's still a bit of a long charge.
