Seahawk Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Interesting discussion came up elsewhere. When you reach an Initiative Step at which you attack, you get to Pile In, right? So, what about Servo-arms? These additional attacks are resolved at a different initiative than normal the model (usually). A techmarine without an axe Piles In and attacks at I4, then again at I1 for the servo-arms. Now, this view goes against how I've read the rules and discussed them on here before, which is Pile In at characteristic, attack at whatever you do. I don't have my book on me for a more thorough discussion yet, but I figured I'd start generating it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 I think HoW specifically says you don't get a pile-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 The catch with hammer of wrath is you only get it if you make base contact, and since your already in base contact you do not pile in. Not so sure about the Techmarines servo arms though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Problem with the HoW example is that only models in base-to-base can make the Hammer of Wrath attack, which would preclude you frompiling in at all, since you don't get HoW if you're not in B2B, and if you're in B2B, you don't Pile In.

Seahawk Posted August 21, 2012 Author Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ah, makes sense. I'll remove that one then. How about for Servo-arms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raeven Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Being that it says you get a single extra close combat attack for each arm at I1.. I'd give it a pile in. It's an extra attack, just like Hammer of Wrath is an extra/additional attack at a different initiative. Difference is, Hammer of Wrath specifically states that it does not grant an additional Pile In, while the servo arms have no such restriction.

Gentlemanloser Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Doesn't the BRB state you only ever get to pile in once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentlemanloser Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Bah, that was Steleks response to me when I discussed his interpretation of Iniative and Initiative steps with him recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassWave Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Check the Rule book again. Pretty sure you pile in at your stat line initiative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 What's the initiative for a Tachmarine? What's the Initative for a Servo Arm? Does the Servo Arm get to pile in? If not, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Bah, that was Steleks response to me when I discussed his interpretation of Iniative and Initiative steps with him recently. You just have to bear in mind that Stelek thinks his opinion is RAW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The discussion was really helpful. Got it sorted in my mind why Banshees don't hit on I10 with Axes, but Frags don't work. Sadly. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkGuard Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 There's also a thread on the subject here. EDIT: note I moved Gentlemanloser's post on the topic and subsequent posts for two reasons. One to keep them all together. Two because it looked like it may need a few more posts. You can find that topic in the link above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
