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.

Unit Rules

A unit is a group of models that band together. They've got special deployment rules and activation rules.

• All models of a unit are Trooper models.

  Errata-Unit-Advance (2023-12-07)

	Question: When something triggers because an "advancing enemy model that ends their movement" is within a given distance something, and the enemy model advancing is part of a unit, does the trigger only affect the moving model, or does it also affect the troopers that are placed?
	Answer: Only the model moved counts for triggering when something advances into an area.
	Explanation: We are aware of the situation. Currently looking at what the wording of the feats should be as well as the bigger question at hand here. For now it would be just the models that actually moved, not were placed. This is just for these right now amd not looking at other aspects of unit movement. When there is any update for wording i will post. As stated until we have a wording update this ruling is applying here. So for now just the model that was actually moved and not the ones placed will be affected.

Thoughts on Negation Angels

Negation Angels in a nutshell

Developers notes: Whereas Clockwork Angels are slightly more skewed to dancing around the enemy and harassing them from ranged (ex: CRA and Repo), the Negation angels are slightly more skewed to jumping from terrain feature to terrain feature, and then charging into melee (ex: Prowl, Gang, auto Paralysis on melee attack). We want to keep this divide between the two groups of angels. Both are capable of attacking the enemy at range or melee, but the Clockwork Angels should remain a better ranged option than the Negation Angels, more nimble as well.

Nice, effective, and expensive advance deploying skirmishers. Slightly more expensive than the Clockwork Angels this unit is often regarded as the stronger of the 2 as Prowl further improves their anti ranged capabilities to a point where it really isn’t worth shooting them without a boostable gun and Gang + Paralysis helps them hurt in melee. If they have any inherent weakness it’s that they struggle to disengage after committing to melee due to a low volume of attacks and no Reposition.

The developer notes bill them as being better at melee than at range but because electrical attacks can be supported in faction don’t discount their guns.

Combos & Synergies

• Aurora1 - They let her flank off of them, but more importantly she makes them 2" faster with Aerogenesis and lets them boost melee attack and damage rolls with Arcane Might. With her feat granting parry and reposition they become reliable assassins.
• Aurora2 - Extra speed and damage from the feat and they are eligible for her directives.
• Destructotron 3000 offers a to hit buff on the ranged weapons.
• Prefect Hypatia - She gives them Apparition with her leadership bubble.
• Void Archons need friendly models with souls to fuel them and in Strange Bedfellows only Angels really fit the bill.
• they are one of the most expensive options you can take in Strange Bedfellows for free

Drawbacks & Downsides

• Their armor is tinfoil - they die to blasts and magic attacks and more importantly: Scathers and Covering Fire.
• One wound and small numbers means the unit can easily be wiped out in one turn
• 0.5" melee range mean the flat out cannot touch models standing in Blight Clouds or Despoiler.
  • All of the points above mean that Bethayne and her accompanying Virtues were pretty much tailor made to prey on these gals, a fact any Legion player worth its salt will be keenly aware off, so beware!
• They are usually too fast to take advantage of the Enigma Foundry's support

Tricks & Tips

• Spread out. It is their most useful tool against blast damage and electro leaps.
• Their only defense is their speed and high DEF. Look for concealment or cover all the time, and launch hit&run raids from there.
• Never bother aiming; your charge range is longer, your paralysis is more reliable and your damage is greater. Removal of the electrical damage type also helps vs Cygnar or an Earthborn Dire Troll.
• With Aurora1 and Hypatia alone they have a 14.5 inch charge threat range allowing them to get the drop on most models in the game.
