Some models have reach, some have 360 degree front arcs, and sometimes a wall or some other terrain can block line of sight even when two models are that close, but normally any time you leave an enemy's front arc you provoke a free strike.

Yes, this means you can occasionally take multiple free strikes from one model under certain circumstances. Fun, no?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519791.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519791.page GMT Rules question: defintion of engaged
Also, if a model does not have a melee weapon (such as a squire) can it still be engaged in melee?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519801.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519801.page GMT Rules question: defintion of engaged
As for your second question, a model sans melee weapon can still be engaged, but cannot engage other models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519820.page GMT Rules question: defintion of engaged

Interesting. Does this mean that you can't avoid free strikes by simply blocking
with your own models? (Typically standard thing for people to do around here)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519862.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519862.page GMT Rules question: defintion of engaged
EDIT: Mind you, if you're engaged by a reach model and move something between the two of you, your model will no longer be engaged and did not move out of line of sight itself. Thus, it can safely walk away, assuming it backs up carefully.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2519867.page GMT Re:Rules question: defintion of engaged http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2520219.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2520219.page GMT Rules question: defintion of engaged

I don't believe this is true. Every model has a melee range of 1/2 inch. As long a another models moves thru that area and is in the front arc it can be engaged. I can't think of any model that doesn't have a melee attack or has only ranged attacks. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2520498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2520498.page GMT Rules question: defintion of engaged

There are also a number of models with only ranged weapons that also have Gunfighter to give them a melee range.

You forgot almost anyone with a banner...

Also models without a melee range can't charge.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2520890.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2520890.page GMT Re:Rules question: defintion of engaged

Add those to the 'models I own but forgot the rules to' list. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2521948.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2521948.page GMT Re:Rules question: defintion of engaged
Leo_the_Rat wrote:I sit corrected. The rulebook says that the model must be using a melee weapon to make a melee attack. So if there is no weapon listed then it can not make an attack. If it can't make an attack it can't engage.
I should have remembered Aiyana I actually own her but don't use her much.


The gunfighter rule specifically says the model can use its gunfighter attacks to make free strikes, IIRC.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2525227.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/351266/2525227.page GMT
