<li> After the model with the "Any Time" ability has had their activation end "prematurely". By this I mean you resolved something which includes the phrase "its activation ends". Examples include:

<li> When you're in the middle of moving. (Note: <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Cavalry" title="Category:Cavalry">Impact Attacks</a> count as being in the middle of movement).</li>
<li> When you're in the middle of an attack. Which also includes effects that occur "after the attack is resolved".<br/>(Although the attack is "resolved" at Step 11, in terms of using an "Any Time" ability the attack is not "finished" until <i>after</i> Step 14. Refer to the first paragraph of Apdx A.)</li>
<li> Your opponent interrupted your activation to trigger one of their own abilities (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Countercharge" title="Countercharge">Countercharge</a>).</li>
<li> Warcasters/warlocks/etc can normally cast a spell or use their feat "At any time". However, there is a core rule saying they cannot do so on the same activation that they run. So, they are subject to all the same restrictions listed above, <i>plus</i> they can't cast/feat <i>before</i> running. </li>
<li> Units: See below. <br/><br/></li></ol>
<ul><li> In general you <u>can</u> use "Any Time" abilities while you're <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Knockdown" title="Category:Knockdown">knocked down</a> or <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Stationary" title="Category:Stationary">stationary</a> (except Spells and Feats which specify you <u>can't</u>).</li>
<li> If you have a gun with a random ROF, you can use an "Any Time" ability inbetween rolling the number of shots and actually making the first attack. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?276943-Random-attacks-and-animi-casting&p=3863878&viewfull=1#post3863878" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)<br/><br/></li></ul>
<dl><dd> <u>Units with "Any Time" abilities</u></dd></dl>
<ul><li> You cannot use an "Any Time" ability before issuing/receiving orders. See step 1 and 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.</li>
<li> A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after they run (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256828-go-to-ground-after-running&p=3843245&viewfull=1#post3843245" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>) or fail a charge. Because that makes that <i>specific model's</i> activation to end even though the <i>unit's</i> activation is still ongoing, and you can't use abilities on models that are not active.
<ul><li> You can use an "Any Time" ability <i>before</i> running, however.</li></ul></li>
<li> A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after <i>anyone</i> in the unit has begun a <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Reposition" title="Reposition">Reposition</a> move. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?256828-go-to-ground-after-running&p=3843245&viewfull=1#post3843245" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></div></div> </li></ul>

<ul><li> There are two ways you can get these "non-attack" damage rolls.
<ul><li> <i><b>Type 1</b> - A secondary damage roll that is not considered to be an attack</i>. Some attacks create a second damage roll that is explicitly <i>"not considered an attack"</i> (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Electro_Leap" title="Electro Leap">Electro Leap</a>).
<dl><dd> (Note that although the secondary damage roll is not an attack, the original attack certainly is and will trigger stuff normally. These clarifications don't apply to the original attack.)</dd></dl></li>
<li> <i><b>Type 2</b> - A damage roll that's not from an attack</i>. Some special abilities & special actions tell you to make a damage roll without mentioning whether it is considered an attack or not (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vent_Steam" title="Vent Steam">Vent Steam</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Flak_Field" title="Flak Field">Flak Field</a>).</li></ul></li>
<li> When it comes to <i>other</i> abilities that trigger on damage (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vengeance" title="Vengeance">Vengeance</a>) both types function the same way. For brevity <b>we'll refer to both as "Pure Damage"</b>.<br/><br/></li></ul>
<dl><dd></dd></dl>
<ul><li> Pure damage is not an attack, so doesn't trigger stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Vengeance" title="Vengeance">Vengeance</a>.</li>
<li> Pure damage is not an attack, so doesn't benefit from stuff that affects 'attack damage rolls' (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Bethayne1" title="Bethayne1">Bethayne1</a>'s feat). (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?279190-Arcane-Symbiosis-interaction-with-Spine-Burst-and-Blight-Shroud" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Pure damage (normally) doesn't actually <i>hit</i> the model(s) it damages, so doesn't trigger stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shock_Field" title="Shock Field">Shock Field</a>. (A few of them do specify they hit, though, like <a href="/index.php?title=Category:Warhead" title="Category:Warhead">Warhead</a>.)</li>
<li> Pure damage is not from an attack, but it is (normally) damage from the original model. This has two implications:
<ol><li> It's not an attack from a weapon so:
<ul><li> it won't gain damage buffs from the weapon (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Poison" title="Poison">Poison</a>).</li>
<li> it won't gain any Damage Types from the weapon. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?263587-Electromancers-Lightning-Generator-Magical-Damage-and-Incorporeal&p=3716978&viewfull=1#post3716978" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></li>
<li> It is a damage roll from a model so:
<ul><li> it can be boosted. (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?267052-Orin-midwinter-Electroleaps-boostable&p=3779644&viewfull=1#post3779644" rel="nofollow">Infernal Rulings</a></b>) ... unless the rule specifically says it can't, like a <a href="/index.php?title=Scrap_Thrall" title="Scrap Thrall">Scrap Thrall</a> explosion or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Lightning_Generator" title="Lightning Generator">Lightning Generator</a>.</li>
<li> it will gain benefits that worded "this model gains ... on damage rolls" (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Prey" title="Prey">Prey</a>). (<b><a class="external text" href="http://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?263596-Prey-and-electro-leap&p=3717122&viewfull=1#post3717122" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> warbeasts with a Crippled Body will roll one less die. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?263596-Prey-and-electro-leap&p=3851831&viewfull=1#post3851831" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul></li></ol></li>
<li> Exception: Some damage is not from an attack <i>and</i> not from a model (for example, Collateral damage). In this case, you should reverse the stuff listed under #2 above.</li></ul></div></div></li>
