Quick question about crons..

So my friend asked me to put this up cause it came up twice in 2 diff games n were not sure..
So, Necrons only get WBB if there is at least one model left alive, however if there is not they can still come back if there is a res orb within 6".. so we were playin annilation, and I wiped out a squad of immortals, there was a res orb within 6" in another squad of immortals, so 5 of the 10 dead immortals passed their WBB and according to the rules had to join the squad of immortals..

Do I get the Kill Point ?

thanks

Yes?

If I am reading the question correctly, a unit was destroyed, and a second one was made larger.

This would garner a KP for the one that was destroyed.

The Orb has no effect on the distance WBB can be attempted at - it just allows WBB to be attempted against Necrons killed by ID or CCWs that allow no armor save.

Any downed Necron model has to be within 6" of a Necron unit of the same type to attempt WBB. This is only overwritten by having a Tomb Spyder within 12". It sounds like the Immortals in your example jumped further than that.

In any case, Kill Points are awarded for every unit that no longer exists at the end of the game. Even though models from the first squad of Immortals are now a part of the second squad, the fact that the first squad no longer exists means that they give up a kill point.

Exactly how MasterSlowPoke has said, +1 KP for the unit wiped out, regardless if they can WBB or not.

From your example, it sounds like your Lord was with one squad of immortals, if this is the case, the only benefit would be any models from the second unit that were either killed by ID or Power Weapons etc, could WBB. Simply having the second unit nearby would allow WBB from 'normal' shooting or CC.

Thanks, yea wording was a little iffy but thanks for the help it really clears up alot!

Just to touch base on the Res Orb.
1. No. There must be the same type model within 6" of the damaged model, or a Tomb Spyder within 12" of the damaged model with another of the same type model anywhere on the table. If you knock the last Immortal down, they're gone with no opportunity for WBB

2. As already pointed out, the Res Orb has zero to do with range of WBB. All it does is negate the "no WBB allowed from these attacks/weapons" bit. Everything else for the WBB rule is still in effect.
