Can a model use a 2AP attack action for Disengaging strikes?

[Hagisman]

So Dr. Grimwell's Lobotamy is Ml7, but it is a 2 action. His 1 action is Ml6. 

 

Can I use his Lobotamy as his Disengaging strike?

 

so far I can't find anything in the book except that the action has to have a melee range.

Yes. So long as it is an attack with .

If I understand the rules correctly your opponent declares their model's intent to disengage.  At that point you can make disengaging strike(s) with any attacks that are in range.  In the case of the ice golem if their model started within 1" and declares that they are walking away Smash would be legal.  However, if they are over 1" but under 2" then the ice golem can still make a disengaging strike but it's only option is the Icy Talons.

Correct.    Disengaging strikes only happen when  you declare you going to walk out of the models engagement range.

This isn't true. It has to be in range of the attack, yes, but the range doesn't have to be equal to its engagement range. So in this case, the Ice Golem could use Smash or Icy Talon vs a model within 1" and only Icy Talon vs a model within 2" but further than 1".

 

"the enemy models that are engaged with the moving model may choose to take a free Attack Action with any one Close () Attack which the disengaging model is in range of." (pg 44 big rulebook)
