Rules Clarification : Vengeance and/or Righteous Vengeance and/or Retaliation and/or Swift Vengeance and/or Tantrum     (Edit)

• Vengeance moves do not have to be towards an enemy model.
• You can choose to not move, but still get the attack. One is not conditional on the other.
  • In this case, you will not count as advancing and thus will not trigger stuff like Countercharge. (Infernal Ruling)
• Vengeance is not an activation. It does not prevent the model/unit from activating and acting normally later in the turn.
• Stationary and knocked down models may not perform Vengeance moves nor attacks.

• Units only
  • Out of formation models cannot make Vengeance moves nor Vengeance attacks.

  However if the unit commander uses their movement to bring the Grunts back into formation, then they can move and attack.

  • When resolving Vengeance, move all models in the unit before making any attacks. (Infernal Ruling)
  • If you have more than one unit with Vengeance, move all of unit A then complete all of unit A's attacks, before starting to move unit B.
  • If you manage to spawn new models during the Maintenance Phase (such as with Reconstruction or Blood-Bound) then those new models can also make Vengeance attacks. (Infernal Ruling)
  • Due to the way it is worded Vengeance can be "inherited" by unit attachments that do not actually have the Vengeance ability themselves. For instance, a Soulless Escort attached to the Spears of Scyrah.
    • If anyone is damaged, including the attachment, everyone in the unit gets to trigger Vengeance.
    • But if everyone is killed except the attachment, then he doesn't get to trigger Vengeance because the rule is "no longer on the table".
  • Granted [ Vengeance ]
    • If the model granting Vengeance dies, the unit will not get any Vengeance attacks.

    It is "If you have Vengeance, and you were damaged last turn, you get a move+attack."

    It is not "If you get damaged, you get Vengeance next turn."

    • If you lose Vengeance halfway through resolving Vengeance, then you stop resolving Vengeance immediately. (Infernal Ruling)

• Triggers
  • Only enemy attacks trigger Vengeance. There are plenty of ways enemies can damage you without attacking you (such as Electro Leap) and these will not trigger Vengeance.
  • If a CA has Granted: Vengeance then only models in formation have it. However, models that are damaged while out of formation can trigger Vengeance, they just will not benefit from it. (Locked thread)
