I may have read this wrong as I am still trying to get to grips with the new rules, but should there have been a 3 inch pile in at each initiative step meaning the orks would have had more models in combat?

whats with the video ?

This video has been removed by the user????

Can’t wait until the video is up. :0) Waiting…..

Checked out the vid on youtube and this is probably completely off topic but does someone burp at 00:07 in to the mercs ad at the or am I hearing things?

Weird.

They probably toked down because forgot to mention the snap fire phase. As soon as the space marines declare the assault even if they are not able to make it, the Orks can attack with a snap fire shot, which has to be make with a BS of 1. And you can not do a snap fire with template weapons. Armor saves can be made as normal and after this phase, the player who declare the charge can roll 2D6 to see if he is able to charge.

I´m getting used to the new rules, as everyone, but I think you haven´t done the pile in movements correctly. First, the orks shouldn´t have made that pile in move before rolling the marine attacks; and then, at the begining of every step of iniciative (in this case, I4 and I2), the miniatures attacking should move those 3″ before making their attacks.

Anyway, in this case the result is the same, and of course it´s a great introduction to the assault phase for new players. Good job!!

Hi Darrell and Warren. Loving the videos that Beasts of War are pumping out for 6th Edition, very entertaining. However, I have a couple of points for you: I like the fact you are doing videos for beginners. As a returning player I find this to be a good reinforcement to my rules reading however I do feel that no matter how basic you want to present the rules you have to get the fundamentals right. –> ‘Overwatch’ most definitely should have been shown, big change to the game. –> It is my understanding that the Orks can only ‘Pile… Read more »

The above poster is correct. This assault was handled more like 5th than 6th. After the charging unit is moved, no models are re-arranged until it is their initiative step, at which point they get a 3″ pile in. This includes the charging unit. Meaning that in this example the Space Marines would have charged, and on their initiative step, piled in deeper, and then attacked. After which, at initiative 2, the Orks (having received casualties they removed closest to farthest) would get to pile in 3″ and attempt to make base contact. This is extremely important as damage is… Read more »

A few things:
– no mention of the Orks getting to shoot overwatch.
– the Orks should not have moved the 3″ pile in until it was their initiative turn. It didn’t change the results in this example, but it could have.
– WYSIWYG is no longer mentioned in the rule book, implying it’s optional (or at least no mandatory). Won’t matter for friendly games but might for tournaments.
– LMAO when you rolled the four ones 🙂

I love ya guys, but you did that completely wrong. Please make that video again and use proper rules. You will spread false rules and people will get confused.
