If a tentacle is killed, how far exactly is the threat the next turn? Thanks.

Anywhere within command.
Specifically you can place the newly spawned Tentacle anywhere within command range. So technically anywhere with the base within 8"

Does the base need to be partially within or totally within, and can the tentacle grunt make a move (walk/charge) and then attack, or does it forfeit movement?

The base only needs to be partially within 8", so approximately 11.5" threat from the maw.
The tentacle could move afterward, but there is generally no reason to do so. If it leaves command range of the maw it is removed from play, and you can place it exactly where you want it to end up within command

voidbender, that makes sense. I suppose the reason to move afterwards is to get the press forward over thus the additional die for the charge attack? Now I need to get out a ruler to measure the 40 mm base, but is the total threat "just a bit more" than 11.5"?

There are a few circumstances in which you may want to press forward for the additional damage die on the tentacle's attack. These tend to be when you want to be sure you kill a moderate armor warrior model without having to remove the tentacle. If you do a press forward order, the maw fails its charge unless already engaging, thereby forfeiting is initial attack.

In reality it's the only way maw will atack anything. The only situation you don't want to charge with tentacle and spawn into meelee are back strickes to high def models and LoS problems with charge.

if you just place the tentacle and issue no order, the maw gets his normal attack tho. so it can attack a pulled model twice.

If you place the other tentacles correctly, you can make 3 tentacle and 4 maw attacks into the same target.

It's exactly 11.57480314960629921259842519685 (8"+40mm+2") Back when we couldn't premeasure, those last ten digits allways screwed me over.

It's exactly 11.57480314960629921259842519685 (8"+40mm+2") that's not exact, there's an infinite supply of more digits that you left out! Sorry, the science teacher in me got off its leash there.

You didn't start your sentence with a capital letter. I wondered, when you say "supply of more..." does that mean there are supplies that make there be less of it? Also, when did you insert a leashed science teacher into your person? Sorry, the grammarnazi that... :'D
