Hi Dwarrows,

How does Random Movement & Terror work?

I’ve been playing it like this:

E.g. An Abomination randomly moves in to contact with my Hobgoblins.

# I don’t get to react (Flee! or Stand & Shoot)

# & I also don’t need to take a Terror Test, as no charge has been declared.

p. 57 of my Skaven army book says that if the aboms movement is sufficient to take it into an enemy unit then it counts as a charge and the target may make a charge reaction as normal

Your interpretation is correct, Discoking. Terror tests being linked to charge reactions was a new rule for 8th Edition. The HPA has also been FAQd to have normal Random Movement, so no Terror test.

This has been FAQ'd I think...

"Shambling Horror, Change the first paragraph to �?oThe Hell Pit Abomination has the Random Movement special rule..."

Ah, thanks Thommy.
When I was charged randomly & then asked to take a Terror test...
Well you can imagine my face.

& then when I asked if I could flee or stand & shoot, & was told no.
Well, I had to look it up.

My opponent wasn't that happy, & confused as to why it had Terror anyway.
Old books cross wires.

Thanks again! :hat off

It’s because it is terrifying, still causes fear tests in everything, including fear causers, can charge using a few spells and stuff.
