So i had a game where my opponent said he had to make a charge for me to be able to perform an heroic intervention, i was quite sure the requirement is just being able to move 3" or 6" to an enemy unit after charges is suffiscient. Now that i have read and googled, id say my interpretation is still correct since rules does not state any charge move prerequisite (only its step 2 in the charge phase).


Is there any wording in the book that clears this up?


Upfront thanks.

You're in the right here. Your opponent doesn't have to make a charge in order for you to make a Heroic Intervention - it's not listed as a requirement, as you've already spotted. The onus is on your opponent to prove otherwise.
If the thinking was that there had to be a charge, in order for there to be a charge phase? That's a faulty view - the phase rules tell us that each phase of a turn must be resolved in order. In other words, even if you don't actually do anything in a phase, it still takes place.

Upfront thanks.

For the Generic Heroic Intervention you are correct. Some models have special rules requiring more criteria i.e. The Sanguinor can now Heroic Intervention from Deep Strike, but only as a response to a BA unit being successfully charged. So it's not 100% cut and dry, but assuming you weren't using one of those that may have generated the confusion.
