09. Movement Phase

If, when making a Fall Back move, all the models in a unit have failed their Desperate Escape roll and been destroyed, the unit has not ended a Fall Back move and therefore things that would trigger from it (i.e. Opportunity Seized, or the reactive move from the Space Marine Lieutenant with Combi Weapon's Evade and Survive ability) may not be used.

When you need to see if a model has moved over another model, you only need to check that the part of the model that you would ordinarily measure from has moved over part of the opponents model that would also be the point that you measure from. For example, a unit of Wraiths moves over a Rhino. The base of the Wraith model needs to go over any part of the Rhino's Frame to trigger its Wraith Form rule.

When placing models and using wobbly model syndrome, the controlling player is free to place their model how they wish as long as there are no abstractions regarding the laws of physics when they are placed (like placing a shadowsword or Mortarion on its side), and as long as it is balanced in such a way that a bump to the table doesn’t risk to dislodge/cause the model to fall from its position. For models that wish to occupy upper floors of ruins their base needs to fit entirely on the upper level, as well as be able to physically fit there. If the model doesn’t have a base or has a rule that specifies that it measures to the hull, the downward projection of the hull must be entirely within the confines of the upper level.

In all instances where a wobbly model would come into play the motto is: be reasonable, talk to your opponent, and try not to game the system. The referees will be harsh and hand out yellow cards for unsportsmanlike conduct to anyone trying to abuse this rule for a gameplay advantage. Players are encouraged to immediately seek referee assistance if they feel their opponent is pushing the limits in regards to Wobbly Model Syndrome.

When moving a model you are allowed to finish your move under parts of another model as long as your model physically fits and is flat on the table. For models that would measure from their frame you are considered in base contact as soon as you are under the model, or your unit is within 5" vertically and 0" horizontally of the model. This would prohibit pile in and consolidate moves if you are considered in base contact, however if after charging for instance and are not currently considered in base contact, you may pile in etc.

When a unit is using the Take to the Skies rule it must declare the use of that rule prior to rolling any dice that would change its Maximum Distance such as Advance Rolls, or Charge rolls.
