Just a quick query with the new Necron FAQ, which I have to say, overall l am very pleased with.
First it says this:
Q: Can a Veil of Darkness be used instead of moving onto the board when a unit arrives from reserve?
A: Yes.
And then it says:
Q: Can a unit of Deathmarks with an attached model from a Royal Court Deep Strike?
A: No, every model in a unit must have the Deep Strike special rule for it to do so.
Is it just me or shouldn't this say:
A: No, every model in a unit must have the Deep Strike special rule for it to do so, unless the attached model has a Veil of Darkness
Have I missed something?
I think you're right there, it's just poor choice of wording that confuses it. A Deathmark squad with a Royal Court member (or attached IC, or whatever else) loses Deep Strike, but one with a Veil gets to Deep Strike from reserve the same way it would from the table.
ReplyDeleteYes, technically speaking the unit deploys using the Deep Strike rules, but is held in normal reserve, not Deep Strike reserve. This is actually beneficial, as it allows them to walk onto the board if they so choose, but in most cases it's a meaningless distinction.
ReplyDeleteBut does this negate Hunters From Hyperspace, if you're using a Veil?
ReplyDeleteHow could you possibly read that rule this way?
ReplyDeleteWhoops, that was supposed to be Ethereal Interception. Herp dee derp.
