rpnightsend Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Alright so I just checked the Guard FAQ and previous threads here and I didn't see anything about either of these. I feel like the answers are obvious but I wanted to ask you guys in case I'm missing something: Can Guard Officers issue orders to units on top of a building? I'd assume because they aren't "Embarked" in the building, they're on top, then they can receive an order, but I may be missing something in the wording of how being on top of a build works. Do weapon emplacements operated by a guardsmen unit that receives an order receive the benefit of the order? (Rerolls to hit from Bring it Down!, etc) Thanks mates.

ShinyRhino Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yes and yes. Weapon emplacements are essentially an extra weapon option ofr the model in B2B with it, so if the model in B@B receives an order, he can fire that weapon as part of said order.

rpnightsend Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Can a IG officer give orders to himself and his unit if they are embarked in a vehicle? Â Yes. Where are you getting that? I thought it specified that embarked units can never receive an order.

I thought it specified that embarked units can never receive an order. Actually, no. An officer can not issue orders to an embarked squad - which prevents him from issuing orders to his own squad if they are embarked. The Chimera Mobile Command Vehicle rule overrides the prohibition on officers issuing orders while embark, but it doesn't override the prohibition on issuing orders to an embarked squad.

Â Ah, I mistakenly jumped to the conclusion that if he could issue out, he could then issue to himself.

Ming Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Frankly, for me, I thought I'd read it somewhere (recent faq or something) that they could, but there is a detail (...must get a highlighter...) somewhere...that says no. Just trying to confirm what I was told in a recent game that I was not missing anything newer. More than likely I was thinking about psykers being able to cast spells on themselves while in a vehicle or something like that...orders are not spells...

rpnightsend Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 ...orders are not spells... Everyone in my group says "cast" when using orders and I'm not entirely sure why. Even I catch myself doing it. Such as "I cast first rank fire, second rank fire" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258403-imperial-guard-orders/#findComment-3142693 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use your voice to cast spells... Maybe Guard Officers are all minor psykers 0.o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/258403-imperial-guard-orders/#findComment-3142872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
