Questions about a combo

[kenji10000]

Hello all,

I was reading through the new book and I had a few questions:

Is it possible to run off the board for flying monstrous creatures? (I'm thinking of vector striking with a Crone then running off to keep them safe.)

If I put Adrenal glands on my Tyrant it gives him fleet, and combining with onslaught he can run a rerollable 2D6 then can shoot. Would something like that be worth 15 points?

I'm curious to hear the Hive's thoughts on this, thanks for reading!

- Yes

- Probably not.

if you use onslaught on your tyrant that has fleet it will be able to
re-roll it's 1d6" run and then shoot it's weapons
-or-
shoot it's weapons and then run 1d6" w/ re-roll.

there is no situation where a tyrant, w/ or w/out wings can run 2d6"

I don't think anything can run 2d6"... please correct me if I'm wrong.

FMC's run 2d6 in the shooting phase if they wish. Edit - whilst swooping, gliding is 1d6 as normal.

You can't Vector Strike when leaving the board, as per the FAQ. Fleet and onslaught are a nice combo though on Flyrant, giving them a massive threat range as suggested.

Take note, the Flyer can only run straight forwards when running while swooping. Good for the range, but no good for diving into cover.
Shame, cause that would be cool!

The only restriction I can find in the FAQ on leaving the board is that you can't do it in the same Turn you enter.

But vector strike happens in the movement phase right? Running is in the shooting phase. That's why I wasn't sure if I could do it, the Vector would have already happened at that point

The reason I was thinking of doing to running thing would be to help my Flyrant get rear armor shots.

where in the FAQ does it say this? (hehe that sentence sounds funny saying it out loud)

[gigasnail]

it doesn't. you just cant' go on the board from reserves, and leave it in the same turn. nothign to do with VS. you can VS off the board if you feel like it, provided you were already on the board at the start of the turn.

Sorry I must have imagined that haha!
