beasts charge

When charging beasts through cover... it says they ignore cover.
Does this mean they dont strike at initiative 1? or just that they dont have to move less inches because of it..

as per September's FAQ

Q: Do models that ignore difficult terrain when moving or charging
still fight at Initiative step 1 if they charge through difficult terrain?

A: Yes.

That was a sad day, but an understandable Nerf.

In a related note,as per the BRB the "Move through cover" special rule does not affect charge range roles. Beasts Ignore cover, so it is different but a definite distinction. Only mentioned as it has caused me confusion on occasion.

Charging through cover requires 3 dice and discard the highest, but for beasts they roll 2 as normal. The Talos however still rolls three.... that mistake cost me.....

This is why Beasts are almost always run with Baron as he gives them Grenades (and Stealth/Hit & Run).

Ahh right... I forgot about the grenades... Good to know, thanks!
