How often do Ymgarls change?

[hiveguardalpha]

Do Ymgarls choose a different changing effect in enemy Assault phases as well as their own?

The way I read it, it says EVERY Assault phase, but I've been known to be wrong before...

[Helonion]

They change EVERY assault. Yours and your opponents.

[Lanesend]

Yeah. Depending on the unit you're attacking, you can use +1 T in your own turn to survive, and +1 A or +1 S in the opponents turn, to finnish them off.
(so you can assault again in your own turn, to avoid getting shot to pieces)

In case you kill your target in your own turn (by accident), at least you are enjoying +1 T in the opponents shooting phase.

Thanks guys - I thought it was, but wanted to make sure!

On an almost related theme - our local club has a city board with buildings you can go into and go up and down through levels. One guy is very keen on deploying his troops in the buildings.

Can I actually deploy inside the building from a Dormant state? i.e. there's a unit of marines on the 2nd floor. My Ymgarls rouse from dormancy if I choose that building to be dormant in...can I emerge on that floor and charge them or do I have to come OUT of the building and clamber all the way up to them?

If these are ruins, then yes. If these are armour valued buildings, then no.

You can assault them if you have room to deploy 1" away though still count as assaulting through cover.

Also, morph bonuses only last for the assault phase. Won't help against enemy shooting,though will against vehicles you explode.

Unfortunately no, you gain the benefit at the start of the assault phase and lose it at the end of the assault phase.

Actualy it can be armour buildings as the rule says terrain piece so any terrain could be marked as a lair for gals, and as it's not a hill and added to the board there fair game.

[Jabberwocky]

Armoured buildings aren't area terrain though. They are basically immobile vehicles.

[Davor]

I thought it was just once per turn, not twice per turn yours and your opponets assault phase. Time I reread the rule again. D'oh.

The biggest reason you wouldn't be able to deploy in a building your opponent occupies (not a ruin, that is different) is that there is no 1" away for things inside buildings, since you remove the unit from the table if they are inside. However, what Hiveguardalpha described sounds like multi-leveled ruins. You CAN enter from dormant in the same ruin (on any floor for that matter) so long as you are 1" away from the enemy (each floor is supposed to be 3" of movement so a different floor counts as fine).

i wonder tho how the eff these dudes didn't notice the sleeping stealers

[coredump]

They are very very quiet....

[infornography]

They thought they were statues? Maybe they were under the rug. easy to miss, especially if it really ties the room together.

Friend of mine loves giving criticism to his models as if he were an army commander. He just does it for a laugh. He particularly loves berating the poor marine squad that's stood next to Ymgarl-occupied terrain: 'For God's sakes fellas, we've been over this. If you're going to stand near terrain don't all stand in a row with your backs to it with headphones in. I don't care how much you like The Cure, there's no cure for seventeen rending wounds to the lower back.'
