Spacecurves’ Tactics Class: Research and Development “The Pancake Special”

Hello everyone and welcome to another Spacecurves’ Tactics class. Today I’ve got something a bit different than normal, half a tactic half a rules question. I call the Tactic in question “The Pancake Special”…

I’m always coming up with new Tactics in my dark 40k laboratories here in Commorragh, Boston.  The Dark Eldar are really capturing my imagination these days, and the number of combos and tactics that army provides (not to mention gorgeous models) makes them really fun to play.

Consider the following situation:

It is the middle of my movement phase, let’s assume I have moved the warriors to surround the enemy unit shown, but have not yet moved my Raider, which has a shock prow.

I pivot the raider and declare a tank shock, let’s assume I guess exactly the distant I want, and the Raider “lands” right on top of the enemy.

Now, if the enemy squad fails a morale check and runs, they are clearly destroyed, but what happens if they pass morale AND fail to stop the Raider with death or glory?  They can’t be moved in any direction without coming within 1 inch of my models.  There is nowhere for them to go.  What happens to the Grey Hunters? If the answer is: “PANCAKE!!”, then I just found a really good use for shock prows.
