Kilofix Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Would a Super Heavy Walker be able to Stomp if it is in Close Assault within 2" of the enemy but there is a group of friendly models in between? I.e. another friendly unit Close Assaulted the enemy unit before the Super Heavy joined in; and there is no way to place the first Blast Template without touching a friendly. I'm thinking RAI would say no Stomping in that case.

Dam13n Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Reading the rule, it simply states that any unit with at least one model under the blast marker suffers the effects. A stomp is not strictly a "Blast" weapon as defined by the special rule bearing that name, so we can't really use that rule to help us. - The decision to make a stomp is allowed by 1 thing only - being engaged in combat. - The list of units that cannot be stomped is at the end of the Stomp paragraph1 and does not include friendly models / units. - As stated above, it's not a Blast weapon, and the line of "must not be placed so that it touches a friendly model" is absent from the Stomp rules. So I can't see why you couldn't stomp friendly models as part of a multiple combat, although the potential effects would suggest that doing so isn't exactly wise. 1 Page 96, BWB - "Stomp" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/295829-stomping-and-intervening-friendly-models/#findComment-3790683 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Casman Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Looks that way to me, it seems you'll have to be careful not to Stomp your allies.
