Glitch85 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Just a quick question. I know you have to declare HI before you roll scatter but do you have to move your unit up to assault straight away or move them up in assault phase with everything else?

Legatus Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Heroic Intervention allows the squad to assault the turn they deep struck. The assault still occurs during the assault phase, and not as part of the deep strike deployment. The intended target unit could still be shot to pieces or possibly fall back before the Vanguar Veterans get to attempt their assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also possible (and in my experience more likely with any codex other than BA) that the Vanguard simply cannot make range to close the assault after scatter.

Leonaides Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Although BA vanguard vets dont have to declare a target for their HI when they deep strike, unlike C:SM version... Another reason for people to grumble about BA I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djhg Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Frankly, if you are planning a HI move then it is mandatory you be packing a unit of Scout bikers with a Locator Beacon. Otherwise you just KNOW the unit will scatter a bazillion inches away from their target, or directly into the bowl of conveniently placed in game snacks :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatman Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Or drop pods with locator beacons. Cheaper ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG42 Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Or drop pods with locator beacons. Cheaper :P Only other DP's can use those to DS on. Not assault or termie sqds or Vanguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shatter Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 If a unit wishes to deploy via Deep Strike and chooses to do so within 6" of a model carrying a locator beacon, then it wont scatter. Note that the locator beacon must already be on the table at the start of the turn for it to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
