angrom Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Hi everyone, Was wondering if the stratagem "Strike from the shadows" that says "unit select is set in ambush and at the end of one of your movement phase you can set that unit anywhere....". Can we use this stratagem to deploy a unit in infiltration in the first turn? I know that there the rule about reserve and deep strike on turn one forbidden. but because there is also some exceptions for greyknight and ork jump attack and GSC ambushes I was wondering if this stratagem fall into any of them.

Shas Oh Dear Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Turn 2 onwards as per the reserve rules for this one I'm afraid. Gate of infinity and da jump are exempt because they are psychic powers that are immediate not "at the end of one of your movement phases". Gsc also have specifically worded abilities that ignore this restriction.

seriade Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Gate of infinity and da jump the models are also on the table already compared to strike from the shadows is the main difference. Those 2 are more directly comparable to shadow step.

SanguinaryGuardsman Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 SftS is still really good even though you cannot have stuff come in on turn 1. You can keep potent assets safe from turn 1 firepower. Cents(either) Devs Sternguard Intercessors Aggressors Hellblasters All this stuff really likes SftS.
