Flight and odd terrain

[Mr_Smigs]

http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23896&page=2

so,

If a model wishes to fly over Impassible Terrain, they don't lose any distance moving atop the terrain...

but,

if a model wishes to fly over climbable terrain, they must sacrifice movement to "climb" the appropriate height before moving over the terrain?

must they also "climb down" on the other side when they leave the terrain,

or do they ground themselves for free at the end of their movement?

what if a model has Flight and is moving from atop a Height 13 building to another Height 13 building that is 4 inches away? is that 5 inches of movement (to end atop the building) or 31 inches?

if a flying model has to "climb" to reach the top,

then can they fly full speed half way, and "grab on" like a spider if they don't make it to the top, or is it impossible for a Wk 5 model to ever reach the top of a 12" building with flight?

I think this answers your question (from the RM):

Flying Models

2

Models with the Flight Ability move over terrain without penalty and over other models but cannot end their movement in or on impassable terrain or another model’s base.

Models with the Float Ability move over terrain without penalty and over other models, and can end their movement over impassable terrain but cannot end their movement over another model’s base.

Models with the Flight or Float Ability ignore enemy models’ disengaging Strikes when moving except for disengaging Strikes from models whose melee ranges they began the movement within. These models also ignore vertical distances when moving and can be placed atop climbable terrain without moving a vertical distance.

hmm.. interesting.

thanks for that catch.

i never realized how much extra movement flight really is...
