I came up to this problem in a game recently and have searched high and low throughout the rule book and google for an answer but nothing says whether being fearless stops having to take the test for tank shock. Do they automatically go for Death or Glory?

**Gwar!**

Necrons are not fearless. Scarabs are, so are Pariahs, Tomb Spyders and C'Tan I think, but IIRC no Model with the Necron Special Rule is Fearless

However, fearless units do autopass the Tank Shock test, and then may choose to either Death or Glory! or just move out of the way.

Thanks for the prompt reply. So Necron Warriors have to take the Leadership test if they are tank shocked? Or does the Special Rule allow them to just move out of the way?

The Tank SHock rules let them move out of the way. If a unit is tank Shocked and passes the test, one model in the path may choose to DoG, if they don't they just move out of the way.

And yeah, they take the test as normal.

Which Special Rule would that be, pray tell?

**Sphe**

The Necron Special Rule that allows them to pass all Leadership tests in the cases of falling back or being pinned.

Necrons have no such special rule... You mean Fearless? No Necrons have Fearless. Some units in the codex do (I listed them), but none are Necrons.

I remember reading something in my friends codex that said something about them passing morale tests, I must have read it incorrectly.

Yeah, there is a part saying the take morale tests as normal :3

I liked you better at age 7.

With Leadership 10 all around, they won't fail their morale checks against tank shock very often.

They're more vulnerable to sweeping advance after taking a heavily modified morale check in close combat.

Sounds like someone reprinted their codex using Adobe PDF.
