    ORB Do you have to declare your overwatch shots immediately, or can you wait until the end of the movement phase?

    With the age of the game (and 40K before that), I'm sure this must have been answered online or by the Roolz Boyz in White Dwarf. tl;dr Do you have to declare immediately when you want to shoot, or can you wait and say "I would have shot him then"? The long version: I had two guys in cover...

For some time I had assumed that if a model chose to go into hiding, they...
