Let's try something more simple, Col_impact.

My roster says I have purchased a unit of 10 necron warriors. I have attached a lord to it and lost 5 warriors to shooting.

What is the size of the unit?

Per the rules, the 'size' of the unit is 11. There are 5 warrior models and an Overlord on the Battlefield and 5 warrior models on the side of the table. The 5 warrior models on the side of the table skip the Turn Sequence per the rules and do not factor into the 'current number' of models on the Battlefield for the unit.

I have no idea why you keep arguing this as you don't have a case.

Per the rules, the 'size' of the scarab unit is 4. There are 2 scarab bases on the Battlefield and 2 scarab bases on the side of the table. The 2 scarab bases on the side of the table skip the Turn Sequence per the rules and do not factor into the 'current number' of models on the Battlefield for the unit.

I'm sure this will make the Daemon players happy when they field their pink horrors. Killed 5 horrors? Don't care, the unit size is still 11!

I see col is persisting with this ever increasingly bizarre argument.

Maybe let them believe they've "won" on this? We know from past threads that they cannot be persuaded to agree the sky is blue, if they started off saying it is pink.

Well it's clear that the rule isn't going to be solved by a clear RAW state since two sides have gone on for five pages (and I'm also not sure why the Necron Warriors were brought into the discussion since that's not what I asked).

I'm going to ask a mod to lock this because it doesn't look like the discussion is going to be solved any time soon. I can only hope it is address in the Necron specific FAQ when it's released.

Unit size is what the unit consisted of on the force roster.

Otherwise if the spyder returned scarabs at the last unit size, it would be zero as the last unit size was zero when the unit is being replaced.
