Charging in WARHAMMER 40K and how to make the most of it

[@LazyMan91]

When you charge all models must be moved closer to closest target of a charge, not in any direction. So you would not be able to grabe objective with wardens. Also pile in and consolidation moves must be made by your models closer to the closest enemy model. So almost everything you sad was wrong.

[@KurtzeTube]

Closer doesn’t mean in the direction of. Just means closer. Also, you made up the consolidation bit. So everything you said is wrong.

Cool video I actually picked up a couple little tips/things I didn't think about before. One note though, I believe in your Redemptor scenario I think the Dread could still overwatch your charging unit since overwatch no longer limits overwatch to the charge target.

[@Odyssey40k]

thank you for your comment! You are completely right, I misspoke. it does not help with overwatch, but can still be used for manipulating your charge moves.

Ive been lookong for some easy to understand video tips like this for a while... a series of this would be killer! Top job mate.

A handy tip: Many transports do not have an assault ramp that will allow the disembarking units to charge an enemy on the turn they jump out, so it can be risky to offload your troops from a transport too close to an enemy if you don't have an assault ramp. Fear not! So long as your transport did not advance, it is still eligible to charge after the unit disembarks! Charging with the transport ties up that enemy unit and forces them to choose between falling back and potentially costing them actions for a turn, or staying engaged with the transport while leaving your troops free to do other things!

great tip! transports have many handy uses like this.

@@Odyssey40k Transport exploitation for next video!

[@theophrastusbombastus1359]

Is it just if the transport didn't advance? I thought if the transport moved, full stop?

[@jakebarratt453]

Great, tips. I'm definitely going to forget to use them in my next game. 😂 But once I get my head around them I think they'll be huge. I also thought about something to try, and maybe you'll know if it will work or not. In this edition you're allowed to move through friendly models and units (unless they're Monster or vehicles) so can I protect my combat unit with a throwaway unit in front, so that they can't be charged. But then in my turn I can charge through my friendly unit and make contact with an enemy unit? Like you could with Fly in the last edition.

[@Odyssey40k]

Thanks for the comment! in the case of moving through units to charge, you are correct that you can screen them with a throw-away unit. remember you also have the 2cp herioc intervention strat to gain some movement and position on your opponents turn!

[@ngaireedgar-wilson]

Great tips

[@Odyssey40k]

Glad you like them!

[@colouredIncognito]

In your example, the redemptor can still overwatch, right?

[@Odyssey40k]

Correct, I misspoke in that segment.

[@dr254]

Awesome info great video

[@deneskun.8587]

I have a question about the last tip. Why would the redemptor not be able to overwatch in this case?

[@Odyssey40k]

I misspoke here. The redemptor can still overwatch. Sorry for the confusion!

[@DreadWaaaghGaming]

After you read a rule out you should try explaining it in your own terms, so everyone understands before you move onto talking tips and tricks

[@Odyssey40k]

thank you for that, I will try that out for an upcoming video.

[@DreadWaaaghGaming]

@@Odyssey40k yeah only meant as constructive criticism dude. You done nice job editing and lighting etc

[@Odyssey40k]

appreciate it mate! just starting out so any tips I can get I'll take.

[@DreadWaaaghGaming]

Also, I've done the same thing before meself once in video and was hard to follow and i noticed a drop off in viewer retention.

[@DreadWaaaghGaming]

@@Odyssey40k yeah I could see that. Can also see you've put a lot of effort into things. Keep it up. And welcome to the creator community

[@AJMOFO1987]

Not sure some of these moves are legal as you’re not piling into the closest enemy models

[@alexripley3365]

That’s my view as well. Only consolidate mentions moving closer to an objective marker but only if you can’t get in range of an enemy model while staying together as a unit. You have to move as close to the enemy unit as possible.
