this recently came up...first off both mystics ability and mawlock start when you deep strike..so how exactly will this work out

thanx for time to utilize this question

Both occur at the same time, so if it is important D6 to see what happens "first"?

Good question. The Mystics say Immediately, but the Mawloc also does it technically before he hits. Tough call, either way. The roll-off seems logical, but asking a judge present would also be useful if in a tourney setting.

This isn't tough at all guys (IMHO)!

The Mawloc rules are completely clear that you resolve the blast and then place the Mawloc model.

So there is literally no way to resolve the Mystic's shooting until after the Mawloc's attack is resolved and the Mawloc model is placed on the board.

Ah. Didn't have the Codex on me. Thanks for clarifying that.

That. Shooty first.. then the mawloc arrives.

Isn't this entirely the opposite of what Yakface just said?

Yes, yes it is.

Unless he mean the mawlocs "shooting" first, and then place the mawloc.

Who knows...

i think he meant do the mawloc's blast. then the mystics shooting, then the mawloc physically hits the board.

no he meant the mawloc's blast, then placing the mawloc on the table, then mystics shooting (since there is no model to shoot at before that point).

Priceless thread is priceless.
