steal initiative/ scout moves

[greatcrusade08]

hi guys

just something ive been wondering about.. which comes first?

Do you scout move and then roll for steal initiative or the other way around..

 

thanks

Not the BRB with me but I'd say scout (which is deployment) and after all the deployment moves and so... just before game starts, initiative.

[greatcrusade08]

scout moves arent deployment IIRC, it only says something like "before the game starts you may make a scout move"

If I remember, I'll check out when I get home

Scout moves and any and all deployment thingies come before Seizing the Initiative, which happens just before Turn 1 begins. A rough order could be:

 

- Deploy

- Infiltrate

- Army special rules (Eldrad, Callidus Assassin, etc)

- Scout Moves

- Seize Initiative

- Start the game with turn 1

hmm yeah this sounds about right actually.. i just skimmed the rulebook and these things appear to be listed in order of appearance in the rulebook

This is something that makes scout moves a little risky at times. I once scouted my ravenwing squad towards some genestealers that I planned on flaming with two flamers. However Murphy won out when my opponent stole the initiative and quickly wiped me out.

Guru, this has happened to me before when I played GC08 B)

 

But most of my army was scouts or pods, so scout moving next to him left half my army out to dry lol.
