Model Advantages and Abilities

Apparition	During your Control Phase, place this model anywhere completely within 2 inches of its current location. No errata for Apparition (Create)
Dual Attack	This model can make melee and ranged attacks in the same activation. When this model makes its initial melee attacks, it can also make its initial ranged attacks. A model with Dual Attack can make its initial melee and ranged attacks in any order you choose. This model cannot make ranged attacks after making a power attack.   Errata-Dual Attack and Unit Charges (2023-10-27) Question: If a unit with Dual Attack charges a single model, are all placed in melee range, and the first model kills the charge target, can the remaining members of the unit make ranged attacks, or do they forfeit their Combat Action because they don't have any enemy models in their melee range? Answer: The check for melee range is done at the end of movement. If you kill the targets before they attack, they can still do their ranged attack. (Malkav13) Explanation: This post is correct. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum   Errata-Dual Attack and Special Attacks (2023-08-10) Question: Can a model with Dual Attack make any combination of ranged special attack and normal melee initial attacks, or its melee special attack and normal ranged initial attacks? (Example: Bison Both Barrels and Ram, or Mariner Thresher and gunshot). Answer: No. Explanation: The bison can not use dual attack and also make a special attack. That is correct in that (Thresher) example too. Infernal Ruling: elswickchuck (Bulldog) - PP Community forum
Flight	This model can fly. Interaction with terrain: Treat storm terrain as rough terrain while advancing. Treat all other non-impassable terrain as open terrain while advancing. Obstructions can be advanced through if the model has enough movement to move comletely past the obstruction. Obstructions can be moved onto if the obstructions are large enough to accomodate the flying model's base. Models without flight ignores the continuous effects from the following hazards, unless they become knocked down within the hazard: Acid Bath Burning Earth Interaction with other models Other models can be moved through if the flying model has enough movement to move completely past the other model. Interaction with power attacks Ignore intervening models when declaring the flying model's charge target. Do not stop its movement when it contacts an obstacle, obstruction, or another model while charging, slam power attacking, or trampling. Unintential movement is not advancing (pushes slams). This way, a model with flight can be slammed into an obstruction. Other effects While knocked down or stationary, this model loses Flight.   Errata-Razor Wall (2023-12-28) Question: Does a model with flight still take damage going over a razor wall? Answer: Yes. Explanation: Because Flight does not state a specific interaction with Razor Wall, and Razor Wall does not state any specific interaction with Flight, one can safely conclude that there are no special interactions. A model with Flight will suffer the damage point if it enters or ends its activation in the area of the wall template. Infernal Ruling: Unofficial Answer - PP Community forum

Pistol	A model making an attack with this weapon targeting a model it is in melee with ignores the Target in Melee bonus when resolving this attack.   Errata-Pistol (2023-09-17) Question: Does the pistol benefit apply to models not in melee with the attacking model when the pistol is on a spray? Answer: No, it only applies to models with which the attacking model is in melee. Explanation: The intent is that a model only ignore the penalty for being in melee with the models that model is in melee with. Pistol only works against the models in the melee with the attacking model. Infernal Ruling: Dark Legacy - PP Community forum
