Rules Clarification : Well of Rage      (Edit)

• Restrictions on "Any Time" abilities     (Edit)         [Show/Hide]

  • "Any Time" abilities can be used at any time during a model/unit's activation, except:

  1. Before any compulsory forfeiture of movement/action. See step 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.
  2. 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:
     • Running, failing a charge, or failing a slam.
     • Abilities that include "then its activation ends" (such as Reposition and Teleport).
  3. In between declaring your charge target and making your charge movement. (Infernal Ruling)
  4. In between completing your charge movement and determining whether it was a successful charge. (Infernal Ruling)
  5. When you're in the middle of moving. (Note: Impact Attacks count as being in the middle of movement).
  6. When you're in the middle of an attack. Which also includes effects that occur "after the attack is resolved".
     (Although the attack is "resolved" at Step 11, in terms of using an "Any Time" ability the attack is not "finished" until after Step 14. Refer to the first paragraph of Apdx A.)
  7. Your opponent interrupted your activation to trigger one of their own abilities (such as Countercharge).
  8. 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, plus they can't cast/feat before running.
  9. Units: See below.
     
     

  • In general you can use "Any Time" abilities while you're knocked down or stationary (except Spells and Feats which specify you can't).
  • 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. (Infernal Ruling)
    
    

  Units with "Any Time" abilities

  • You cannot use an "Any Time" ability before issuing/receiving orders. See step 1 and 2 of the activation sequence, appendix A.
  • A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after they run (Infernal Ruling) or fail a charge. Because that makes that specific model's activation to end even though the unit's activation is still ongoing, and you can't use abilities on models that are not active.
    • You can use an "Any Time" ability before running, however.
  • A model in a unit can't use an "Any Time" ability after anyone in the unit has begun a Reposition move. (Infernal Ruling)

Return/Add to Play - Typical (Edit)

• If you're returning/adding multiple models simultaneously, they are placed sequentially. Often this will let you leapfrog the "within 3" of [x]" requirement.
• If you're adding models to a unit, then typically there is no limit and you can go over the unit's starting size. However, some abilities do have a limit (such as Stir the Dead)
  If you're returning models to a unit, then you're limited by how many there are in the "dead but not removed from play" pile.
      (See Add, Return, and Remove From Play for further detail.)
• If you're adding more models than you started with, then in a Tournament you must physically own the correct models - proxies are not allowed in tournaments. (Locked thread)

Return/Add to Play - Other Units (Edit)

• "Return to Play" and "Add to Play" are quite simple if you only return models to your own unit (like Blood-Bound) or only return independent models (like Thagrosh1's feat). But if you're returning/adding models to other units, then click to read more.   [Show/Hide]

  • If you can return multiple troopers at once, they don't all have to be the same unit. Spread the love around.
  • Troopers must return to their original unit. Even if you have two units of the same type (such as two units of Convergence Eradicators) then you can't have 4 die from unit [A] and return them all to unit [B].
  • If your rule is something like "return d3 models to units within CMD range" (Old Witch3) then it is d3 models total, not d3 models to each and every unit.
  • If your rule is something like "spend 1 soul to return 1 Grunt" (Enigma Foundry) then it doesn't matter where the souls came from originally. Think of them like currency, in this case.
  • You can Return models even after a unit is reduced to just Attachments (Weapon or Command)
    • If your Return ability lets you return a Leader or Officer model, then they will immediately become the unit commander and redefine the "in formation" bubble.
    • If your Return ability only allows Grunts, then the Grunt will not be field promoted when he arrives.
      This means that, in the unusual scenario where the Leader model has different wargear to the Grunts (such as Cygnar Stormguard), then that wargear is effectively 'lost'.
