So Rules As Written these stratagems can be used multiple times, this has a few odd effects though. This does not affect Stratagems that are not used during a phase, such as those used ‘before the battle’ or ‘at the end of the battle round. Unless otherwise noted, you can use the same Stratagem multiple times during the course of a battle, but you cannot use the same Stratagem more than once in the same phase (for the purposes of this rule, Stratagems that have identical names, but that appear in different publications, are still considered to be the same Stratagem). If the battle ends and that unit is not on the battlefield, it is destroyed.Īnd being outside of the phase structure of the game allows them to ignore the usual limit on how many times you can use a stratagem. In the Reinforcements step of your next Movement phase, you can set that unit back up on the battlefield anywhere that is more than 9″ away from any enemy models. Select one DEFFKOPTAS unit from your army. Use this Stratagem at the end of your turn. These stratagems are different because they are used at the end of of the turn. This in of itself isn’t too uncommon in 40k now, with most factions having access to several of these stratagems though they usually are used before the first turn begins. What makes these stratagems different to the majority is that they are not used “within a phase”. As well as the Tyranids version, Encircle Prey, there’s also Attack Out O’ Da Sun, and Booster Thrust for Orks and the Adeptus Mechanics respectively. With the release of the recent Tyranids codex (for which I very much recommend you read our review and my Ruleshammer) a type of stratagem has become slightly more commonplace and there’s some controversy about them.
