Thread: Hogwild

    Default Hogwild

    Okay here goes the Farrow Brigands has a prayer called Hogwild. Hogwild states that the unit can make a ranged attack and THEN make it's normal movement. Does that mean that they can charge after shooting? I would think that it is so but I'm not completely sure

    Yes they can charge after shooting, they can also move and dig in after shooting. The only things they can't do is run or shoot again.

    Hog Wild - Affected models can make one ranged attack this activation before this unit makes its normal movement. After their normal movement, models in this unit that make combat actions can only make melee attacks this activation.
    Nothing there indicates that it prevents charging, so yes.

    It reads the rulebook or it gets the hose again.

    What makes you think they cannot run?

    I guess he means that running takes your entire activation?

    Not entirely accurate.

    If you run, it lists a very specific set of things you can't do. "At any time" abilities are not one of those things, as long as they are done before actually running, since after you complete your movement from a run your activation ends.

    You can do a Prayer, then run just fine. In the case of Hog Wild, it does not state that you must make a combat action (which, granted, you would not be able to do if you ran), but that if you do, you can only make melee attacks in that combat action.

    You know what, I just always ASSUMED that... and you know what they say about assumptions. I guess nothing inherently stops the run so I've been neutering the possibilities with my own pigs.

    Thanks for the clarification!
