Murderous Hurricane

[Heimdall Skullcrusher]

Brothers,

 

I tried searching this one out as I think I have seens something on it before but couldn't find anything. If you hit a jump infantry (jet pack more specifically) unit with MH, do they take difficult & dangerous terrain tests or just dangerious terrain tests? The jump/jet packs say they "jump over" difficult terrain, but MH isn't really putting any actual difficult terrain down on the board. I think it would be difficult to use a jump pack in a hurricane, but that is just me. Basically curious if the MH rule overrides the jump/jet pack rule.

 

Thanks.

it does work , partially. they'll still be able to move 12" but they do have to take the dangerous terrain test

Yeah, thats how we ended up playing it (just dangerous terrain tests). I just figured the difficult test would slow down the crisis suits from running away from my pack of grey hunters. No worries though, I got them in the end.

unfortunatly no, you see these crisis suits can jump so high they reach the atmosphere and thus miss the storm. their landing however isn't that soft, that's why they still need the dangerous terrain test ;)

so high they reach the atmosphere but have a rough landing? Does that mean I can force deep strike scatter and mishap table on them every time they move?

now that would be ridiculous! :lol:

This one has had me thinking for awhile. I have think nagging feeling that the original intention of the power was "skimmers and jump infantry move as if affected by Difficult terrain, and treat it as Dangerous." Maybe that'd be too powerful though.

[hendrik]

most likely it was, since only some ash can put down half the worlds airplanes so to speak but unfortunatly that's not how it's written. it only says that they treat all terrain as both difficult and dangerous

while the rulebook says "when using jump packs, they can move over all other models and terrain freely

[MalachiOfRuss]

If it was only one or the other, I'd rather have them slowed than have a 1 in 6 chance of dying.

MH makes units move as if they are in both dangerous and difficult terrain. means that when they move, no matter how, on a 1 they take a wound. when they assault they roll for diff terrain test. simple. done. no questions
