when does Epidemius get to tally a point, when the Necron falls over or when it fails it's Will Be Back roll?

When it is removed as a casualty.

...well, that's peculiar. Per annihlation rules a Necron unit kill is not actually awarded unitl all models in the squad are downed. However, Epidemius is all about wounds or murdered models right? So.. I'm thinking for each Necron put on its side... that's a counter. I mean, it's not like you're doing the old unit points system or anything.. for you it's just about dead models. Even though they stand back, it's still another kill.

I would imagine it'd be the same for killing Commisar Yarrick or the Sisters of Battle chick over and over again too. You get a tally counter for wounds or killed models, but you only get 1 annihilation pt. per unit.

Someone drop a word on it.

or If I'm full of it as Gwar's post would suggest, lol... you actually DO have to wait to you annhilate the whole unit before you get any points, lol.

WBB says whenever a model is wounded (i.e. dead) or would otherwise be removed as a casualty, instead turn it on its side.

2 possible ways to take that. (1) The casualty actually occurred and this is just an opportunity for a twin brother to pop intp the place or (2) The Casualy has actually not fully occurre until WBB is failed and the model is removed from the table.

What say you Gwar?

The tally is not concerned in any way with the destruction of vehicles or units, or even the infliction of wounds. The tally for Epidemius for "models killed" and models awaiting WBB rolls are not dead until they fail to get back up.

Commisar Yarrick doesn't die and then suddenly get better, any more than Necrons do.

This is correct. Necrons that are entitled to a WBB roll are not removed as casualties until they fail that roll.

fwiw I am pretty sure that is in the inat faq

Well i wasn't exactly familiar with it which was why I through out so many examples.
still my hypothosizin' worked out well enough.

More help for 'Cron like me at any rate.
