Does deploying within 6 inches of a servo skull count as moving for the purposes of destroying it? The situation is a Grey Knight player wins the roll and deploys first, and lines the enemy deployment with servo skulls 12.1" onto the board (for a pitched battle). Does the opponent pop the skulls if he deploys within 6"? Or is he stuck taking extremely accurate template fire for at least the first turn?

The GK codex specifies "moves within 6" ", so I would have to say that just starting within 6" might not be enough, though the skull would evaporate the second the unit within 6" got to move. I guess it's lucky that GKs don't have very many blast weapons (remember, Orbital Strike Relays don't benefit from servo skulls).

There you go. Goes to show that first thing you do when you have a question is go back over the rules and the FAQ.

Heh, I even checked the FAQ first and missed that. Don't know how, thanks.
