Kronk Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Can a Relentless unit assault on the turn it deepstrikes? When you deepstrike, per the BRB, you cannot assault. Relentless allows you to fire heavy and rapid fire weapons, even if you moved. It also allows you to assault, even if you fired rapid fire weapons and heavy weapons. However, it doesn't state that it allows you to assault if you deepstrike. I think I just answered my own question, but I want to be sure. Can a Relentless unit assault on the turn it deepstrikes? I think the answer is no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hfran Morkai Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yep the answer is a big no. It would be too nasty to have units of termies assaulting on the turn they arrived in normal games, they can do it in planetstrike but thats it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yeah, the whole ability to assault after rapid firing has nothing to do with assaulting after deepstriking so TDA is SOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronk Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I was thinking more about Legion of the Damned, but oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maligoare Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Deep strike states "these units may not launch an assault (even if they have the 'fleet' special rule), unless clearly stated in their special rules". Relentless does not state at all that the unit may assault in the turn they deep strike, so they can not. (BRB, P95) Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
