Unbridled Ardour+Impulsor=Profit?

[The Unseen]

Was crafting a list using the indomitus assault intercessors, and noticed the impulsors assault vehicle rule prevents you from charging, but it does not prevent you from heroically intervening...

 

So had the thought of the primaris captain with the 6" intervention warlord trait and 5 Aintercessors, move the impulsor, disembark, move, then spend 1 cp to heroically intervene 6" with both units.

 

Anything stopping this RAW?

Seems legit at face value.

You can only heroically intervene in your opponent's charge phase. So they'd have to live through your opponent's shooting phase.

Is there an FAQ I’m not tracking? It’s just the charge phase - not the enemy’s charge phase for unbridled ardour. The cpt might not be able to heroically intervene though

"A unit can never perform a Heroic Intervention in their own Charge phase."

-From the core rules.

 

I'd assume they didn't feel the need to specify "in your enemy's charge phase" for the stratagem as the core rules already forbid you from doing it in your own charge phase. It says you can in intervene as if the unit was a character, and characters can only intervene in the opponent's charge phase.

 

On that note, I do know stratagems and other abilities overrule core rules, that's generally what they're for, and I'd be happy to be proven wrong as it would be quite a big buff.

I totally missed that Hintzy

 

And yeah, agreed, the strat says "may intervene like a character" so it follows all the other normal rules, and you can't do it in your own charge phase

Good to know

 

It hadnt ever come up before for me because any character I've had that was that close in my own turn would've just charged

 

So, case closed, it doesn't work.

Unless they dont move away or kill the Aintercessors, which would be a little odd.

its funny I had a similar idea. It would be great if we had done kinda double move strat other than the DC one.

Never mind I'll just wait for someone to get within 6" of my assault termies.

Related question, can you use Unbridled Ardour on a character to give it a 6" HI?

Yes.

Nothing in the rule would limit a character from being a valid target.

Fantastic, my Librarian Dreadnought (with Wings active) just caught a Crimson Hunter Exarch out with it.

There's genius in this thread. Thanks for the ideas
