Get away from nasty beasties by hiding up some stairs in 40K
July 19, 2010 by lloyd
Did you know you can be a little sneaky and hide units from beasts by putting them up a floor in a building. Yes it turns out beasts can’t go up stairs, sounds silly but there you go. So if a unit is not on the ground floor they can not be assaulted by beasts and so are free to fart in there general direction 🙂

Seems logical to me that Thunder Wolves would be on a bike base.
That’s what I thought. It looks like that one would fit perfectly.
Good vid Darrell !
I’m sorry but could you give us a page indication ,as i’m not able to find something proving you’re right under the “beast and cavalry troop type” so i’m wondering how did you get this idea?
Anyway,keep going you cheesemaker
It’s not under the cavalry rules but the ruins ones. “”only infantry, jump infantry, jetbikes, monstrous creatures and walkers may move onto the upper levels of a ruin”
Thanks!At least that’s a precise reference!And now i must say that I agree,althought giant-ape mounted blaondes should be allowed to climb buildings….

King Kong counts as a Super Heavy Walker.
Now, please excuse me, I’m off to convert a Titan sized war-gorilla…
p. 83 of the BRB, under the heading “Moving Within Ruins”.
Also ,if you are a blonde just don’t say that “beasts can’t climb buildings” to king kong,it would feel “deja-vu”….
This is really sneaky, I’ve never actually noticed this until I took a second look at the rules(mostly looking for a way to disagree, you just nerfed my wolves lol) Seems kinda silly that cavalry can’t climb stairs but a carnifex can
bless his 1st vid alone, good job Darrell!! i think a wolf like that should be on 40mm base
I have to disagree with you on the 40mm base. If you look at Canis Wolfborn, he is mounted on a 60mm base.
Well Darrell, to answer this question i would say they can. only because my 140lb mastiff / pressa canario who you could damn near ride like a wolf, can easily climb up the stairs to my house no problem! The rules are in your favor though, i don’t possibly see a wolf, my dog, or a horrmagaunt for that matter climbing a vertical ladder through a steel cage intended for infantry.
Darrell pg54 movement beasts and cavalry move like infantry,Also pg83 moving within ruins 1st para gives a list of models that can move to the upper levels (pg no’s from the little rule book),thats the way i see it….
ya good vid Derrell now I know how to stop my friends stupid thunderwolf cav. Thanks 🙂
I dunno, I would say they can because it says they move like infantry in all respects and it says infantry can move up/down stairs so…..
But do understand that “moves like infantry” is not “unit type: infantry”. And the list in the ruins section of the rulebook clearly states different unit types, infantry, walker, etc.
Darrell, Where can I find a rule stating Objectives must be on the lower floor of a building. I would love it if that were true, I hate having to spend any where from 1-3 turns getting to an objective when people place them on the top floor, so if I could find that rule I would be extremely happy!
Nice video, thanks Darrell.
Well if you build stairs to your ruin i would say “yes, they can”. But ladder? No!
Good video!!
I´ll take notes for my Thunderwolf cavalry then…
Bummer for Wolves.
p 54 says they move like infantry but p83 says they can’t, but i could see them leaping up there to pounce on the enemy.
Well, I can imagine a goblin riding on a wolf, but a bloody 200kg Space Marine?!? The wolf should be crushed! Unless it’s a clockwork wolf… Hmm… do wolfoids dream of electric sheep…?
Well, the Thunderwolves are quite far from normal wolves, as in they’re freaking huge, really freaking huge. Also who knows what else inhabits the deadly world of Fenris? And Canis Wolfborn’s thunderwolf has bionic enhancements to boot.
Would a normal sized wolf be crushed by a 200kg marine? Darn near. But there are Fenris wolves the size of a Rhino APC, hence the Thunder Wolves. Just have a look at the Canis Wolfborn model
200kg? And the rest, a Space Marine would weigh about the same as one of those little city cars.
Also, “there are no wolves on Fenris…”
and this is why Darell should be on his own in a vid.
He stutters, Spouts his normal Cheese with no one to slap him and for his to stroke his ego by showing of Space wolfs and Necrons….his armys.
Personally think Darell is great and gets exactly what is needed across. You obviously dislike the guy for some random reason, no need to hold a grudge though kid.
gotta agree with you on that mate he always does and i think jaws needs to lay off the burns for darell the hole team is amazing
If your going to come hating your in the wrong place.We all thing the team ( i think i speak for all the regular viewers ) are great…
I often use the Wolflord on Thiunderwolf, Rune Armour, Saga ot Warrior b, SSand PF He always is worth his points, cause either he kills a lot of stuff (he overkills T5 modells like Waghbosses) or he scares the crap out of my oponents^^ This combo is a MONSTER! if used right, I sometimes fail using him right, but my dice also cross my plans from time to time. I think it would make more sense for cavalry could move 12″ fleet and attack normal, but it doesn`t make that much a difference. I think I will use Canus with… Read more »
Makes perfect sense. beast can’t climb ladders, and cavalry can’t jump up there without their rider falling off.
Now I’m glad Hormagaunts are infantry again 😛
I use my wolves to clear out the top floors of ruins all the time. But all good things must come to an end.
I understand not being able to clime ladders, but not stairs. That’s just dumb. But then again when was the last time you saw stairs models into 40K ruins?
Darrell glad to see their letting you run solo. Good job.
Can I get a page reference on Objectives being on the ground floor please Darrell? All I’m seeing on page 91 is not in Impassable, close to another objective or sometimes board edge. Most every game I play its common for me to put objectives up high as I play mechdar, not only does it screw TWC but also nob bikers.
Good to see you’ve got your own video going btw look forward to seeing more!
Personally this relay should depend on the building, i mean my cats can get up and down stairs so could a pack of wolves, and i look at the 3″ floor two of your building, now look at canis wolfborn i personally think he and his mount could jump that.. but i don’t see a warp beast doing so …
does this mean raveners cant climb buildings that sucks
For a wolf I would think it would jump up no problem. Horses, definitely not.
