Charging and heroic intervention


Recommended Posts

Hey quick question. A buddy and I had a debate on heroic intervention. If I charge a unit of ork boys and my opponent heroically intervenes his character into my charging unit. can I choose to fight his character since my unit charged even though I didn’t declare the character as a target?

 

I seem to remember a warhammer community article where they talked about this exact situation but I couldn’t find it. Anyone have an answer?

Select Targets

Before you resolve any attacks, you must first select the target unit(s) for all of the attacks. Attacks made by models in units that made a charge move this turn can only target enemy units that their unit declared a charge against, or that performed a Heroic Intervention this turn.

You may choose to attack a unit that heroically intervened.

 

The confusion may stem from the fact that you were not allowed to do this in 8th edition, as a charging unit could only declare attacks against a unit they had declared to be the target of their charge.

 

This has changed in 9th edition, as you can see from the quoted rule above.
