It's mostly good to tie people up. Hormagaunts aren't great at killing things, so there'll probably be a survivor you can surround and lock in combat to hide from shooting. If they do kill everything, they can rampage off to tie a whole bunch of units up.

It allows you to quickly swamp non-Flyers and surround them to the point they can’t leave combat, which can be hugely important. Edit: I just reread the last post and it’s basically the same thing. efb etc

I understand what it's for, I just need like diagrams or a video on how to position for it when you can only move closer to your nearest enemy model.

If I understand the rule correctly, that is not true. You must end your turn closer to the closest model but may move the full pile in. Imagine an example where you have a hormagaunt three inches away from the closest enemy model, with a second enemy model a half inch behind it (all colinear). A valid move would be to wrap your model around the back of the second enemy model (with the six inch pile in, you end up a bit less than three inches from the original closest enemy model, assuming 25mm bases on everyone).

Your charge move doesn't have to be as close to the unit you are charging as possible. And your pile in/consolodates do not have to go directly to the nearest unit, you can move six inches down the length of a hulll of a tank as long as it's the closest model. You then don't need to haseit and can keep sliding around that model to possiblely touch something else. It's very good at tying up large amount of units you didn't declare charges on but wound up next too using crazy pile ins. If they were durable at all it would be cometely broken.

I still have 40k AdMech, kill team terrain and Adeptus Titanicus to do with probably multiple Reaver titans next month. Last thing I need right now is a playable GSC codex. And just a few years ago who'd have thought my biggest problem with GW would be them releasing too much stuff I want to buy?

Wow, folk don’t waste any time offering what people obviously want.  I’m annoyed I picked up the Tyranid kill team on the weekend now. Although I did want the extra terrain. Might have held off if I had known about this boxset.

Anyone have an example of someone actually using a Warlord in play? I've never seen a game where someone just dick on the tables the 2000 dollars or whatever ridiculous amount it is......although thinking back I suppose if you only make one army after they've come out in comparison to someone that has made multiple armies over the years it's surprisingly not *that* much, and I'm making myself depressed.....anywho, I wonder how they actually turn out. e: vvvv That's actually what made me think of it.

Hencoe has used his at least once, and blew up another Warlord with it. He currently holds the title of Frag King.

I've seen a Warlord on the table! It was to my right in an Apocalypse game. It's huge. It took on a table side against 8 Khorne Lords of Skulls by itself. Wound up dying to a bunch of assault terminators with hammers. Those guys were heroes.

Have a couple movement questions. First, how does 40k handle vertical+horizontal movement? Is it "true distance" in that you take the hypotenuse, or do you measure each segment? I don't see an explicit ruling in 40k, but Kill Team handles this via segments, as described on page 21:  Second, can a model move through a gap narrower than it's base? Given this situation, and assuming that the triangles are pillars that stretch into the sky, could the 2" base model move through the 1" gap to the other side? Or are they stuck below it?

Segments. Re: gaps, it depends. Ruins explicitly say non infantry can't move through walls but infantry can warp through them. For all other terrain, discuss wkth your opponent.

Even as someone who plans to buy a Titan in the next year, it is hard to see why you would even want to play with it. Getting it out once a year and playing a big game seems pretty reasonable just for the uniqueness of the experience but it isn't something that you are dragging to the flgs looking for pick up games with. Sometimes you just need to paint an awesome display piece.

There was one at the Narrative Apoc game last year. 3 turns of shooting got it down to like 6 wounds, then Draigo popped out of the Warp, stabbed it a couple of times with his sword, then promptly went back into the Warp when that caused the Warlord to go thermonuclear.
