Deffkoptas have it as well. It is only good as said by redshane. Use it for the off chance that you can re assault, gaining the charge attack. Or maybe gettn away if u know your not going to last another round. But its not often usefull.

A lot of Slaneeshi Daemons from Daemons codex can take an upgrade called Soporific Musk, which grants the H&R rule.

It worries me that Darrel sets himself up as an authority on 40k and its rules yet can only think of a couple of examples of units that have Hit & Run. Of the top of my head Shining Spears, Harlequins, Warp Spiders have it. Dante gives it to any unit he’s attached to, I’m pretty sure there’s a Sister’s of Battle unit that has it (been a while since I’ve played against them)

Also this is a woeful demonstration of Hit & Run. He’s picked the worst possible example and used it in the most prosaic manner i can think of. Hit & Run is an awesome rule that when used correctly is one of the hardest things to counter. You can use it to make ground by assaulting one unit (protecting your own unit from shooting) then disengage using the 3d6 move, plus your own move to position yourself to assault your next target. Keep bouncing off units making your way up the board. You can also mask your primary target by… Read more »

Eldar shinning spears have s6 power weapons on the turn they charge, so H&R really helps in getting as many charges as possible. However high price and low unit size restricts their use.

Clear 100%, Thanks Darrell!

One thing to remember (or not, depending on how fair you play) is that your opponent gets to make a consolidation move when you do this. They’re unlikely to catch you (1d6 vs 3d6) but if they’re smart they can make it tougher for you to re-assault (move to cover, move out of range, etc.). As mentioned, Dante has it and gives it to whatever unit he’s joined. Works great with Honour Guard (or any squad with Furious Charge or other charging bonuses). Jump away at the end of your opponents assault phase and then charge straight back in on… Read more »

So Hit & Run can be used in the opponents turn??? so i get charged, used Hit & Run to get out and then my turn i can back into them assult as normal?

im a tau player and i totaly agree with darrell its a useless piece of kit, especialy becouls we can give it only to one guy and it kosts like 10 points , i can buy better stuff for 10 points.
this kit would only begin tot be an bit good if tau had it for free. but thats not the case 🙁
maybe in about a 1000 years wen tau wil have an new codex

I play Dante in a squad of Sanguinary Guard and attach a Sanguinary Priest. This gives me furious charge, hit and run and feel no pain. With infernus pistols or plasma pistols, you use hit and run on your opponents assault phase then shoot and re assault the same, or different unit.

@tater I use that combo all the time, in my mind the rule should be called ‘Run and Hit’ in this case as that’s exactly what you’re doing.

i believe a few the of dark eldar units now have this rule…

I run a twin-mawloc army, and i find it great that I can move out of combat on the opponents turn, giving me the oppertunity to burrow in my turn, protecting them from fire and letting me use terror from the deep.

I know that the new Necron Tomb Stalker has Hit & Run in it’s experimental rules. I’m gonna try and do a 40k game with mine to see how this rule works and how the model plays as a whole.

I have a question about de initiative tests! In the rule book I don t remember of reading anything about this subject. I have some eldar harlequins and they have the “hit and run” special rule. When I m trying to pass the initiative test, normally I roll 2D6. All other test (moral, pinning, psychic or leadership) are based on the leadership valour of the model and the rule book says that you should roll 2D6. In this video the test is performed with one dice only (1D6). My question is how many dices should be roll in an initiative… Read more »

When I hear hit and run I think of eldar shining spears. Those guys can hurt when fly away at the end of your assault phase only to pop off a few shots and hit you again.

sly marbo has hit and run
