Is there a difference between the PLAYERS movement phase and his LIBRARIANS' movement phase.

Particularly, I'm wondering when Summoning goes off.


Let's assume you want to summon a unit of Grey Knights to your librarian who happens to be mounted in a Land Raider....attached to that unit of Grey Knights is another Librarian.

Keep in mind...wording of the power "Summoning" states that the power is used at the beginning of the LIBRARIANS movement phase. Not at the start of the GREY KNIGHTS movement phase. (like psychic communion states along with other "before movement phase" powers).

Your Land Raider wishes to move so it moves 12". Your Librarian casts his power...must he cast it before the Land Raider Moves? Or does he cast it when (if) he decides to disembark the land raider. (essentially the beginning of his movement phase)

If he must cast the power before the landraider actually moves....what of the librarian attached to the squad of Grey Knights that is teleported? When can HE cast the same power if it's purchased?

The wording of this power seems a little confusing. I'm not certain if actual models have their OWN movement phases or not...this is why I ask. If they do not, why was the power worded the way it is rather than simply "at the beginning of the players/Grey Knight's movement phase?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2666025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2666025.page GMT Librarian's Movement Phase The beginning of the PLAYER's movement phase is before a single model has moved.
The beginning of a particular unit's movement phase is before that unit has moved. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2666041.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2666041.page GMT Librarian's Movement Phase

No. The Librarian's movement phase is the movement phase in which the Librarian moves. Individual models do not have their own phases within the phase. There is just the one movement phase for each player.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2666407.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2666407.page GMT Librarian's Movement Phase http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2668427.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2668427.page GMT Re:Librarian's Movement Phase
1) The Librarian never has a movement phase, and therefor can never use Summoning.

2) Matt Ward really meant to write "At the start of the movement phase of the Grey Knight player" and then you're stuck using it at the start of the GK Movement phase before anything else has moved.

The FAQ states that it applies as soon as the movement phase begins.

So I read that as applying to every case that is not explicitly stated otherwise, and I cannot think of any off-hand.

Which is to say, I agree with insaniak and Mannahnin, but have regularly argued as don_mondo did.

They happen in place of that unit's movement. This can be a big help to Tyranid players because they can move a Synapse creature to be within 12" of a unit which is falling back, before the unit falls back, so that it auto-rallies instead.


The downside to even this is that the now regrouping nids only get to move 3"(but are unaffected by difficult terrain); and do this 3" move as soon as the Synapse critter ends it's move within range.

Just thought that was worth pointing out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2671248.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/360428/2671248.page GMT
