Xavier319 Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 OKay, so clearly rhinos cannot run. The question is, the stormlance battle demi-company states... "...Other units from this formation can move D6" immediately after they shoot in the shooting phase...." It's not a run, it's a move. And it doesn't specify infantry. Can the razorback and rhinos move the D6" as well after shooting? If they can, that's really cool and makes for a very mobile and scooty army. I"m going off RAW, but it seems like they can. Maybe I"m behind the times, I"ve just never looked at this formation before really. Now, i'm not asking what you think the RAI is, or what you think is balanced, i'm asking about RAW. Thanks for the input. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 I'd have to read the full rules but a straight up move does not mean it is a run move or otherwise; it's just a move. Usually (emphasis here) they tell you which units cannot participate. So, for instance, they will say "All non-vehicle units" or "All infantry units" which limits what can participate. If there is no unit specific wording that tells you who benefits, then all units in the formation benefit regardless of type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 The reference to Embarking on their Dedicated Transports in the same sentence implies strongly to me that the intent was for it to only apply to the Infantry Units from the Formation, but as they have it worded, I think the RAW does work like you say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spagunk Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 So after reading the rules, I don't see anything that prohibits the rhinos from moving, even with the second part of the sentence. However I see where WestRider is talking about when they say that infantry is implied. The whole paragraph is written as if it was talking about infantry that isn't on a bike or isn't using a jump pack. So RAW says yes. RAI may be different. But like I said, usually they say what can or cannot participate and here it clearly says units, not "infantry" or "non-infantry". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier319 Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 That's what I thought. I figured RAI was for the infantry, but to be fair, I've stopped trying to guess what GW's intentions are anymore. I just go by what they actually write down.
