Walking, melee model is on a wall 4 inches tall. A flying summoner is 15 inches from said wall. They summon a walking melee model which must remain 9 inches away.
So, what exactly does that mean?
1. Is the distance from the wall model measured down the wall 4 inches and then out from the wall 5?
2. Straight out from the wall directly below the model 9 inches?
3. At the angle pythagorean style 8.062 inches from the bottom of the wall and 9 inches away from the base of the wall model at an angle (guessing it's this one based on core rules)?
4. Does it matter that the summoner is flying (probably not)?
5. Would it matter if the unit on the wall was flying (probably not)?
6. I assume the straight line 9 inch measurement would be used if the summoned unit was flying. Thoughts? This one is interesting to me because if it's not the case and you still measure base to base straight line, flying units can technically be summoned "closer" than legally allowed simply based on the height of the opposing model (which is ignored by fliers). You could, in effect, summon a flying unit into combat if the opposing model was high enough.
Came up because a building was on top of an objective and a tzeentch player was summoning a unit of brimstones and we weren't sure how far away to put them and how big of a charge they needed to make to hit the guy on the wall.
