To my Knowledge, there is no such thing as a 'falling test.'
Some 6th Edition players might have the misconception that there is such a test, because there where Rules for 'jumping off' of Battlements, Ruins and other high places.


That's what I wondered too. I don't have earlier eds of the BRB, so I couldn't look and see so I assumed it was just normal movement. If I can't move to the ground with my full movement, I just can't make the move.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7243992.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7243992.page GMT Re:How far is too far to move down vertically?

Gravity - Nature's Downward Express
If your unit is in the upper floors of a ruin and wants to get down
in a hurry, the models can always jump down. This, as it sounds,
is really quite dangerous and bound to end with a sickening
snapping noise, but desperation can often make such things
necessary. A unit that is not falling back and descending through
a building can always elect to Leap Down to a lower level, rather
than making a Difficult Terrain test. llowever, all descending
models in the unit must take an Impact test (see page 95).

Leaping Down
A unit can always elect to leap down frorn the battlements,
although this incurs significant risk.
To resolve this, choose one model from the battlements
and place it anywhere wholly within 3" of the base of
the building that is at least I " away from enemy models,
and not in impassable or lethal terrain. That model must
then take an Impact test. This is exactly like a Dangerous
Terrain test, with a -l modifi.er for every full3" the model
has dropped. Unlike ordinary Dangerous Terrain tests,
armour saves cannot be taken against Impact tests.Jump
and Jet Pack models must still take Impact tests but they ignore
any modifiers from falling 3 or more inches.
If the model is slain, choose another and try again. If the model
sunrives, resolve the same sequence for all the other models in
the unit, taking care to remain in unit coherency. Any models
that cannot be placed, for whatever reason, are removed as
casualties with no saves of anv kind allowed.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7244047.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7244047.page GMT How far is too far to move down vertically?
Jetbikes can move 12" and so a 7" climb or decent does not hinder them in the least.

If however you had a unit on top a battlement that was 9" up, and they fell back 8" or less, they would be removed as casualties since they cannot float in the air nor do they have permission to move more than the distance rolled.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7245571.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7245571.page GMT How far is too far to move down vertically? 40k defeated it!

I must have missed that. Do you remember where it says to remove as casualties when they fall further than they can move? That reference would be great to have, we've got several terrain pieces now that are higher than 6", so I'm thinking we'll probably need it.

Thank you, I believe you are correct. Several of the players haven't been in the game since 5th, or right after 6th came out.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7246282.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7246282.page GMT How far is too far to move down vertically?

The rules for falling back state if the unit cannot move the full distance they are removed.



Oh, duh!

Thank you!

Where is that in the rules? 7th ed.

Update: Oop, nvm, Angelic got it.

@Angelic: Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7247025.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/617222/7247025.page GMT
