Agent of Chaos Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Hi All, apologies if already asked on the forum- all answers appreciated; 1) After completing a lightning strike move, can you charge later that turn or is the landing your entire "move", including charge, for that turn? AND 2) If you have a Knight-Azyros you can lightning strike within 5" of him, even if that means you are within 9" of the enemy. Is there a minimum distance to the enemy that you can deploy? If so, what is it? Or could you land within 1" or 2" of an enemy unit, essentially lightning striking into combat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olincay Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Answer for 1 is yes your unit can still charge that turn. Answer 2 is yes you can land in combat with the Azyros as long as part of the unit is within his 5" bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer 2 is not correct; it is up for debate and Tournament Organizer discretion if you can land within' 3" of an enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks guys! Not surprised there is a debate around lightning striking into combat as the wording is a bit ambiguous. Have you any experience with this rule being applied? If allowed does it make lightning strike a bit broken? I suppose even if you can't land in combat you still only have to charge 3" so its probably going to be a moot point most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bimli Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wait does setting up a unit count as moving a unit? If yes then you can't set within 3" of an enemy unit. If it does not count as moving then you can set up within 3" of an enemy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Answer 2 is correct. Just like all things each Tournament can decide to house rule things which this would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does not count as moving then you can set up within 3" of an enemy. Set-Up isn't a move but the Lightning Strike special rule specifically states it is the units move for the turn. Thus the contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent of Chaos Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Thanks for the comments guys however have to say that the thread that Rokapoke posted the link for covers this topic in great detail (although a consensus is yet to be reached and the voting is at 55% in favour of being able to set up within the 3") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
