  • I have a question: Let's say squad A is in melee combat with squad B. Is it possible for another enemy squad (let's call them squad C) to join the ongoing assault?

  • @KenLeonhardt short answer, yes. On the turn that Squad C assaults, they would get the extra attack (unless negated by special rules like weird grenades that cause the assaulting army to not get extra attacks). Only thing is that Squad C must have a member of the unit in base to base with the enemy. Hope this helps.

  • iv got a question, if 4 nobs assault..say..a sanguinary gaurd, and manage to get 5 wounds on him. Do u roll 5 armor saves? or do u just roll once for yur armor save? (im very new to this, literaly last night), im having an arguement with a mate and he thinks its just once, but that doesnt make sense, i would assume u have to save against each wound. thx guys! :D

  • @Shadovv117 You roll per wound. Hope this helps.

  • thanksfor reply mate, so its not as indepth as the official 40k 5th edition book? as im planning on starting warhammer after 6 years, i was wonder regarding the SM new code, can BT chose to follow that or there old book? as ive been researching difference. SM codex, storm shields recieve a 3+ invul to all, and BT only 4+ in close combat!

    thanks again=) love youre videos btw

  • @Adrian890722 Glad the videos are helpful. The rule is that you have to play in only one codex. For BT, you're stuck with the BT rules. This is a major gripe I have about GW as they are not providing balance between various codexes. It forces people to buy into multiple armies. This may be okay if you've only bought 1500 to 2000 points of each army.... but I've got over 7000 points of black templar. Have I played them as a standard SM codex chapter? sure, but I really enjoy playing as BT.

  • @doremicom Thanks man! It did help!

  • dude buy a pc and pley warhamer 40k

  • If a defender is in base to base with an enemy model, can he then use defenders react to move himself into base contact with an independent character?

    Example: If had a unit with power fist (with str 8), and the assaulters had a Chaos Lord (T4). Could I then choose to move that power fist guy into base to base with the Chaos Lord, to try to instant kill him?

    PS: Love your videoes

  • @sundragon35 yes more than one squad can assault the same squad but no, you cannot shoot into the locked in combat unit. the exception to this is where a blast template scatters on to a unit that is in cc
