Basic Ymgarl question

[free]

I am sure this has been asked before but couldnt find the answer to confirm.

I just re-read the latest FAQ and realized that it says Ymgarl genestealers can assault when coming from reserves. I have played it only when coming in from dormant but doesnt that mean they can also assault on the first turn when outflanking?

Q: The rulebook states that nobody can attack on the same turn that
they arrive from Reserves. However, the Ymgarl Genestealers Dormant
special rule contradicts this. Which is correct? (p61)
A: Ymgarl Genestealers may charge on the turn they arrive
from Reserves.

Normal Genestealers can Outflank because of their Infiltrate special rule.

Ymgarl Genestealers don't have Infiltrate.

There you go... so stupid question then. But if I for some crazy reason wanted to put them in reserves they could then charge when entering the table I guess....

You could attach a Prime/POM who had the outflank warlord trait....

However I'd say the FAQ is quite clearly referring to the Dormant rule and even if not, the attached IC (letting you outflank) would not be allowed to assault (like a heavy weapon firer) and so would prevent the unit assaulting.

I agree, technically the Yealers can assault even if they walk on from reserves, but I am pretty sure that was no the intention.

OTOH, if you are going to spend 23 points a model and not take advantage of their best ability.... then you need a break anyway.
