Kaeris, Grab & Drop and Place

[Moondog]

The Kaeris upgrade with grab and drop attack states if successful you place the enemy within 5" and Kaeris within 2" of the enemy.

Is the measuring from this done top down or does it take into account height?

In other words can you use grab and drop to drop your target on a building which is say height 5? Big rulebook states a place is not movement. But is this legal? measuring top down you could place Kaeris 2" from the enemy but if you don't take account vertical height you could break engagement by putting the model on a tall building. Allowed or not?

 

Cheers!

Distances are measured top down,  and while the rules can start to incorporate height when you move or when you consider engagement, they won't matter for this ability.  It is entirely possible for Kaeris to put the model on a nearby tall building and then put herself "within 2 inches" by standing at the bottom of it.
