Hello all, I am just trying to clarify something, sorry if this is the wrong spot to ask. If you have a model that is ghostly, or is under the effects of Gorshade4's Ghost Walk spell, you can Advance through other models. Does that also mean you can Charge through other models? A Charge is an Advance +3", correct? I have been looking online but my search skills are apparently weak.
Thanks!

So, first things first: Ghost Walk, Ghostly, and Incorporeal are different things and they do different things. Nothing in Ghost Walk or Ghostly allows models to move through other models. Read the spell/ability carefully. Neither specifies “models”, only terrain. Incorporeal (such as found on Cryx Pistol Wraiths, Minion Feralgeist, and a bunch of other things) allows you to move through other models, because it specifically says you can do that. Check out the rule book for a complete description. So, can you charge with Ghost Walk? Yes, definitely! But it doesn’t let you move through other models.  As long as you meet all the other requirements for a charge (line of sight, etc., etc.) then you’re set, and you get the benefits of Ghost Walk (not hindered by terrain, no free strikes) just fine. |

Ghostwalk is not acrobatics and intervening models still block los... don’t forget about that.

It’s a helpful shortcut to think of Ghostly as giving you Pathfinder and Parry. It’s not technically correct, but it gives you an idea of what you can do with it.

Aye. I don’t think it lets you see through them though.

Aye. I don’t think it lets you see through them though. Correct, you can move through buildings with Ghostly, but not usually charge or slam through them unless you have another way to ignore LOS (because you need to target). The most notable exception is when you have a sliver of LOS (around a corner for instance) and then use the "move through buildings" bit to make an otherwise impossible charge move legal. |

Charging a colossal or Battle Engine with a bunch of banes that were hiding behind a building is also pretty hilarious  |
