Hi all,
short question about new psychic rule.
New rule says: Cast spell before attack (and No longer at first in activation).
We "discussed" yesterday about charging an enemy, cast a spell, melee attack.
New psychic rule says before attack. Is charge part of the attack?
As I read its not.
But as I feel...I mean, charge is running and jumping straight in the face of my enemy with a weapon over my head, ready to split the head of my target and just in the moment I'm in melee range I stop running, swinging and screaming and say: wait a minute, I just want to try a little spell...
Dont know :-)

You can cast the spell any time before you make base contact.
You can for example move 6", cast a spell and than finish your last 6" for the charge.

But the charge move is a unique movement.
Melee Rule/Charge Moves (P.9):'... you must move charging models by up to 12” to get into base contact with an enemy model from the target unit, ...'
Otherwise it's an 'Advencing' or 'Rushing' action and you must apply 'Models may not move within 1” of models from other units (friendly or enemy), unless they are taking a Charge action.' (P.7). And they're also unique movement. you can't move, shoot, and move again.
So I don't think it's possible to move 6" at a time.
And when you are in base contact the only think you can make is a melee attack.
I just consider a 'Charge' action as an 'Attack'.

You are right, charging is a specific movement, in the sense that it allows to move within 1" of enemy models and so is the only movement that allows to get into base contact and that is the only difference to the movement of other actions. You can still break it up to use any ability that reads "any time during the activation, before attacking". |

OK, I note that precision.
It's a good thing for me, because I play SSH with some psych guys in CC units.
And I prepare a Change Demon Crew for some incursion, because "it must be changed!" (and models are awesome!)
