Hello
I have just had a thought for the tyranids because of my new carnifexs with lots of Dakka :P

One of my powers called onslaught allows me to run and shoot in the same does this mean that I can charge in the same turn?

Thank you :D

actually, you have got me thinking now.. good question. Read run rules, which are instead of shooting normally. But do they also say, if you run you can't assault. If so, you can't assault.

It does say that units that run may not charge in the following assault phase.

So all onslaught will do is allow the unit to run and shoot.

Sounded like you weren't sure!

So I checked what I thought to be the rule!

Why?
It's still a good blessing.
Just remember that the rule says you can run and then shoot.
So you wouldn't be able to move into the open, shoot, then run behind cover.
Something to keep in mind.

TW is correct, however... if it doesn't specify the order in which you can do it then it allows him to both:

Run and shoot ... or ... Run then shoot,

if so he could choose which order he does them in.

One is a lot better than the other, but still the lesser power is still better than not shooting at all when your running head long at your enemy.

no king, its run, then shoot only. If you could choose the order, it wouldn't use the word 'then' in the description.

I believe it is true you run then shoot and the rule does say if you run you can't assult but read the power it might say something in that but give your carnifexes adreanal glands it's only ten points each as well as giving them furious charge it also gives them fleet meaning you can reroll your run dice or assult dice.
