Ovidius Incertus Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Perhaps I am overlooking something, but I've looked this over several times and haven't found an answer in the rules. If a model shoots with heavy/salvo/rapid fire, it may not charge, absent Relentless or Slow and Purposeful. Although I don't have the BRB with me, I believe the entry says the firing model cannot charge, not the unit. Correct me if I'm wrong, though. So my question is this, if one model in a unit fires the aforementioned weapons, can the rest of the unit still assault? Say a heavy bolter brother in a tactical squad fires but the bolter brothers only shoot one shot; can they charge while HB guy cannot? If so, how is this resolved, since it would likely pull the model out of coherency after the charge?

Dam13n Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 If any model in the unit cannot charge, the unit cannot charge.

malorn24 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Also I would like to add that you can't choose to fire only 1 round out of the boltgun and still charge. The weapons is rapid fire so therefore you can't charge if you use it. But all tacts get a bolt pistol in thier gear so just declare you are using hte bolt pistols and then you can fire and charge. Its technically symantics since the only difference in stat line is the distance. But we have all faced THAT guy.

The bolter was only referencing what type of model was being used, i.e. a Marine carrying a Boltgun in a Tactical or Devastator squad as opposed to one carrying a Special or Heavy Weapon. Consider that a Boltgun in a Pistol's range MUST fire twice if it fires at all.
