Little Confused about Exemplar of Mont'ka

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm a little confused by the following advice:

#**Alternate Take: RAW, this means that Cadre Fireblades can Advance and Shoot Markerlights at no penalty. Simply declare an advance, move like an inch, and then laugh your ass off as you break the game by shooting a Heavy weapon on a 2+. Technically rerolling ones if you really want to be a rules lawyer, as you can reroll ones for units that remain stationary near an ethereal who has declared storm of fire. Just know doing this automatically confers both Rules Lawyer and That Guy status upon you(as you justly deserve). In fact, it's probably the most underrated Warlord trait in the Codex.

How exactly does this break anything, and how does it work? The trait doesn't make it so you count as having stood still, it makes it so you count as not having advanced (ie you move and advance but only count as moving normally for shooting). When you advance and move, you still move, you just increase your movement characteristic by D6 before moving. Because of this, you'd still take the -1 to hit penalty for moving and shooting a Markerlight and you wouldn't get the re-roll from an Ethereal. -- Triacom (talk) 08:06, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
