FAQ

Q. Are Engaged and Engaged & Pinned Detachments issued Orders as normal?

A. Yes.

Q. If an Engaged & Pinned Detachment makes a Pile-in Move while issued a Charge Order, do Models that were not in base to base contact still gain the bonus to Fight rolls if they move more than 1"?

A. Yes.

Q. Does a Detachment that is on the losing side in a Combat and fails the Morale check receive a Fall Back Order in addition to making a Withdrawal move?

A. No.

Q. If a Detachment with a Movement characteristic of 0 or '-' is not within Detachment Coherency, can it move in order to avoid models being destroyed?

A. No.

Q. If a Structure is within range of an Objective marker, are all Models Garrisoned in that Structure treated as being within range of that Objective marker?

A. Yes.

Q. If a Structure collapses, can surviving Garrisoned models be placed in a position where they are Engaged with enemy models?

A. No.

Q. When firing a weapon with the Firestorm trait at a Structure, is a Hit roll made against every model Garrisoning the Structure, even if the Structure is not at least 50% under the Flame template?

A. Yes.

Q. If a Detachment with the Automated Sentry special rule has another Model assigned or attached to it (such as by use of the Commander special rule), can that Detachment be issued an Order?

A. No.

Q. Detachments with the Automated Sentry special rule cannot be issued Orders. Does this mean they will automatically be issued an Advance Order when activated, as per the No Orders in the Movement Phase rule?

A. No.

Q. If a Detachment has Dedicated Transports, is it required to be deployed or arrive from Reserves Embarked upon them?

A. No.

Q. Is the limit on the number of Legate Commanders permitted in a Solar Auxilia army based on the total agreed points limit of the battle, rather than the total points value of Detachments in that player's army?

A. Yes.

Q. Do Detachments or Models that do not count when calculating the Break Point of a Formation (such as Dedicated Transports, or Detachments with the Automated Sentries or Drop Pods special rules) count towards reaching the Break Point of their Formation when destroyed?

A. Yes.

Q. If a Detachment in a Broken Formation is on the losing side in a Combat and is forced to make a Morale check, is the result reduced by 1 as per the rules for Broken Formations, in addition to rolling two dice and taking the lowest as stated under 'Determine Combat Result'?

A. Yes.

Q. Is the penalty to Hit rolls imposed when firing at a Detachment in Dangerous terrain cumulative with the penalties to Hit rolls imposed by other Terrain types?

A. Yes.

Q. When a Model with a variant of the Transport (X) special rule is destroyed during Overwatch, are transported Detachments placed within 2" of the destroyed model at the point in its move where the opponent chose to resolve the Overwatch attacks?

A. No.

Designer's Note: When moving a Detachment, players should establish the start and end point of a move first, then once the 'line of movement' of each model from start point to end point has been determined, the opponent can select at which point along this line of movement the Overwatch will take place. Regardless of the point along the line of movement that the Overwatch takes place, players should assume that the move is completed before any destroyed models are removed (and, if that model has the Transport (X) special rule, any transported models can still be placed in Detachment Coherency with the rest of their Detachment).

Q. If a Detachment has Dedicated Transports, can another Model which joins that Detachment through a special rule (such as Commander), also Embark upon one of those Dedicated Transports, assuming there is sufficient Transport Capacity?

A. Yes.

Q. Can a Flyer with the Hover special rule that enters the battlefield from Reserve replace the Flyer special rule with the Skimmer special rule when it is placed on the battlefield?

A. No.

Q. Can special rules which require a Detachment to be within a certain distance of another Detachment, such as Inspire (X), take effect while the Detachment or Model with that special rule is Embarked on a Transport?

A. No.

Q. Can special rules which require a Detachment to be within a certain distance of another Detachment, such as Inspire (X), take effect while the Detachment or Model with that special rule is Garrisoning a Structure?

A. Yes.

Q. If a model that is equipped with two weapons with the Engine Killer (X) and the Rend traits wins a Fight, are the Engine Killer values cumulative when calculating how many Wounds are suffered by the losing model affected by the Engine Killer (X) trait?

A. Yes.

Q. If an Independent Unit is forced to make a Withdrawal Move after being on the losing side in a Combat, is the Detachment Core of the same Detachment also required to make a Withdrawal Move?

A. No.

Q. Can an eligible Detachment using the Infiltrate special rule to deploy outside of a player's deployment zone Garrison a Structure when it is deployed?

A. Yes.

Q. If an Ultramarines Detachment fires weapons with the Light trait at a Detachment that would cause Hits to be discarded, do the Hits still count as having been scored for the purposes of the Ultramarines Interlocking Tactics special rule?

A. Yes.

Q. Are large movable elements, such as the doors on Drop Pods, considered to be 'insignificant elements' for the purposes of measuring distances?

A. No.

Designer's Note: When models such as Drop Pods are set up on the battlefield, they should be set up with the movable doors in the open position.

Q. If a Transport is within 1" of a Structure, can models Disembark directly into that Structure, Garrisoning it?

A. No.

Q. Can line of sight be drawn from any part of a model?

A. Yes.

Designer's Note: We recommend ignoring the same insignificant elements that line of sight cannot be drawn to (as described on page 40 of the Legions Imperialis Rulebook), in order to maintain parity between drawing line of sight to and from the same model.

Q. Can a Detachment be included in a Formation if it is unable to fulfil the restrictions of that Formation? For example, Legion Aerial Assault Formation states that 'all Detachments within the Formation that do not have the Flyer special rule must begin the game Embarked upon a Transport with the Flyer special rule.' A Legion Javelin Detachment could fill the Optional Vanguard slot in this Formation but does not have the Flyer special rule and as a Cavalry Detachment, cannot Embark onto any Transports. Can it be included in that Formation?

A. No.

Q. When resolving a Fight, are Fight rolls made simultaneously (before any re-rolls are made)?

A. Yes.

Q. Is a model that is fleeing required to finish such a move facing the direction of travel (e.g., face the controlling player's battlefield edge)?

A. No.

Q. If a model with a Morale characteristic other than '-' joins a Detachment with a Morale characteristic of '-', are Morale checks made for that Detachment still automatically passed?

A. Yes.

Q. The Battlesmith special rule uses the phrase 'AP-2 or worse'. Does this mean weapons with an AP characteristic of -2, -1 or 0?

A. Yes.

Q. Can the Battlesmith special rule be used against weapons that would normally have an AP characteristic of -3 or better, but which have been modified into the eligible range by another special rule or trait (e.g., Light AT)?

A. Yes.

Q. If a model from a Detachment with the Automated Sentry special rule has no eligible targets for the weapon it has, can it fire at a different target that is not one of the listed Detachment Types?

A. No.

Q. Can models from a different Formation Embark upon a Transport selected in a non-Transport slot (e.g., a Thunderhawk Gunship in an Air Support slot) if they are from the same Army List?

A. Yes.

Q. If a Detachment with the Infiltrate special rule is joined by a model that does not have the Infiltrate special rule, can it use that special rule to deploy?

A. No.

Q. Can a model with both Skyfire and Point Defence weapons fire them at two different Secondary Targets?

A. Yes.

Q. If an enemy Detachment has models within another model's Front and Rear arcs and that model has weapons that are restricted to such arcs, such as a Marauder Bomber's nose mounted lascannon and Marauder heavy bolter turrets, can both weapons be fired at that Detachment?

A. Yes.

Q. If a Solar Auxilia Iconic Formation includes a Legate Commander, can this be used in Armies of less than 1500 points?

A. No.

Q. Can line of sight be drawn over the top of Obstructing terrain if the firing Detachment and/or its target are taller than the physical components that make up that area of Obstructing terrain?

A. No.

Designer's Note: All Obstructing terrain is considered to be 'infinitely high' and line of sight can only be drawn through it the specified distance, even if the Models drawing line of sight are taller or higher up than the piece of Obstructing terrain between them.

Q. If a model with the Inspire special rule joins another Detachment, can the range of the Inspire special rule be drawn from any model in that Detachment?

A. No.

Q. Fleeing models must maintain Coherency where possible. Does this mean that if they end that move overlapping a friendly model, and must be moved the shortest possible distance so they are not overlapping, that move must also allow those models to remain in Coherency?

A. Yes.

Example, in this scenario above, a Detachment that is fleeing ends that move with models overlapping the friendly Reaver Battle Titan. Model A can be moved easily by the shortest distance and remain in Coherency with the rest of their Detachment. Moving Model B by the shortest distance would move it to the far side of the Reaver, out of Coherency with its Detachment. Instead, Model B must be moved by a slightly longer distance that allows it to not be overlapping the Reaver and also within Coherency of its Detachment.
