When a Necron lord or Necron unit get destroyed or wiped out, but comes back the next turn due to successful WBB, Res Orb, or Phylactery roll(s), does that count as earning a Kill Point since the lord or unit was initially destroyed?

If the above answer is yes, what happens if you continually keep destoying a Necron lord, but that lord keeps getting back up, do you continue to earn additional Kill Points for each time you wipe the lord? Or are no Kill Points earned until that Necron lord finally fails it's WBB, Res Orb, or Phylactery roll?

My local GW store is having an animated time with this discussion.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

RAW would likely say that you do get the KP. Common sense and the fact that WBB is, for all respects and purposes, FNP at the beginning of your next turn, I would say its idiotic.

In short, a necron does not grant a kill point until it stays killed.

Besides a Necron Lord, once a Necron unit is entirely knocked down it ceases to exist as a unit. Any models that are allowed to stand back up will have to join another Necron unit.

So the only model this question applies to is the Necron Lord.


And the answer to this question is in the first line of the WBB rules:

"Any Necron model that is reduced to 0 wounds or would otherwise be removed as a casualty, remains on the tabletop and is laid on its side to show that it's dmaged."


So instead of being removed as a casualty the model is placed on its side to show it is damaged.

Ergo, until the Lord actually fails its WBB roll he has not officially been killed and does not give up a Kill Point.

Thanks Jon.
