Brother Castle Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Greetings, I had a situation occur in a recent game where my opponent claimed an objective at the bottom of a tower while his unit was placed at the top, he was within 3 inches horizontally but over 10 verticaly, given that we could find anything to say that vertical distance effected holding objectives we played that it didn't. Does anyone know of a place where the rule was clarified or FAQ'd? a page number would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWolfLord Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Greetings, I had a situation occur in a recent game where my opponent claimed an objective at the bottom of a tower while his unit was placed at the top, he was within 3 inches horizontally but over 10 verticaly, given that we could find anything to say that vertical distance effected holding objectives we played that it didn't. Does anyone know of a place where the rule was clarified or FAQ'd? a page number would be greatly appreciated. Page 2 of the Stepping into a New Edition FAQ answers this. Q: How do objective markers work for purposes of vertical distances? A: Include both vertical and horizontal distances when determining the number of models within range of an objective marker. There is no infinite vertical column for objectives, you measure distances as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciler Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Also, although I can't remember where it is written exactly, I think that there is a recommendation (if not outright a rule) that objectives must be on the table, not on upper floors of ruins and buildings.

That's 100% just a houserule, not even a recommendation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the implication is that putting objectives high up will effectively prevent things that can't go up ruins (vehicles, monsters etc) from claiming objectives.

Some units not being able to climb ruins is a rule GW put in on purpose after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slasher956 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Likely because the models will get damaged if you tried it.... I mean a metal wraithlord standing on a GW ruins building 2nd floor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
