And they shall know no fear Q

Hi all,

 

Another Q

 

I played BA yesterday and of course we had a lot of CC going around the map.

 

I was locked in cc with my GH with a jumppack assault squad, I lost the CC. I failed the morale so I must fall back. We do the test for a sweeping advance wich also failed ( I love my dice skills ) so for him my unit was destroyed. I started a discussion because in the space wolves codex and also other marine books we have the ATSKNF rule wich say : " If SW are caught by a sweeping advance, they are not destroyed and instead will fight normally. If this happens the unit is subject to the no retreat rule "

In the rulebook we have the CC follow up of check morale and after that the sweeping advance etc...

 

He said that this is not that kind of rule so I just removed all my GH because I dont like to discuss about something, its just a game.

 

Is he right or not ?

You fall back, are caught by sweeping advance, then immediately take extra wounds in accordance with no retreat.

You don't fall back. If the pursuing enemy beats the initiative roll then both units stay where they are. Either the losing unit is elminated and the winner consolidates d6", or if the losing unit is fearless of has ATSKNF the units stay locked in combat and the losing unit suffers the additional wounds.

Next I will hit him much harder for that, btw it is not a friend but just a guy who also plays his games in that local gamestore.

He also used his sangPriest wrong some moments. His squad was 6" of the priest but not after he did his assault move into my greyhunters, but he still claiming that he had FC and FNP because of the fact that they recieved those powers before the assault ( difficult to explain for me ) In my eyes this was wrong but I tought by myself " its a new dex for those BA players "

 

He also did a psy power with his librarian when he was already locked in CC but I dont know if this was correct.

 

Btw we space wolves are designed to kill those shiny blood angels lists.

The fact that he tried to claim he had the benefits of a blood chalice without being in six inches makes me really angry. It's an insanely awesome and forgiving ability, and it only has one stipulation : YOU BE WITHIN SIX INCHES OF THE PRIEST. If an assault move happens to move an entire unit out of range, well, too bad, so sad, no FC and FNP for that unit.

 

Seems pretty clear cut to me. ridiculous that he would claim otherwise.

 

 

On top of the ATSKF stuff, my basic opinion of this guy you're playing is pretty terrible. you need to straighten him out.

the unit would gain the bonuses from FC if the started their assault move within 6" of the priest but they wouldn't receive FNP during that combat as they would be out of the 6" bubble

correct. FC is measured when the assault is declared. FNP is measured when the wound occurs.

Well for me it is within 6", so I dont know if he will recieve those powers when he was out of 6" range after his assaultmove. But thats something we can know on this kind of forum.

 

 

EDIT:the unit would gain the bonuses from FC if the started their assault move within 6" of the priest but they wouldn't receive FNP during that combat as they would be out of the 6" bubble

 

clear for me then from now on. :D
