Necron Lords do not need to have another model within 6", regardless of whether or not they have an Orb.

Page 13 of the codex, under 'We'll Be Back'... there a paragraph dealing specifically with Lords.

And yes, if he had the Res Orb, he would get to try.

If he Didn't have the Res Orb, he would not have been able to WBB.

The rules clearly state that the Res Orb gives the ability to make a WBB roll for a Necron unit "even if they were damaged by...close combat weapons that allow no armor save."

It really couldn't be clearer. It's on page 15 of my Codex.

Then over here on page 13 it says "Necron Lords do not have to have another model within 6" in order to self repair."

If he still doesn't understand that, take away his crack pipel

As long as you don't do a lot of it, and give your reference I think it's okay...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm pretty sure it's ok. Just don't quote the whole rulebook.

You saw what I said about Page 13, right?

Under the We'll Be Back! rules in the section that says Necron Lords?

He's not reading the whole of that sentence, it carries over to the next column. The whole sentence reads:

"If the Lord's last wound is lost to a close combat weapon that allows no Armour save or any weapon whose Strength is twice the Toughness of the Necron Lord then it cannot self-repair unless it or another Necron Lord within 6" has a Resurrection Orb."

What Cheexsta said.

seriously, is your opponent 6 years old? thats pretty plain english.

That's not entirely fair. If you have a look at the relevant page, the layout is a bit dodgy. It's easy to miss the end of the sentence if you're just skimming.

Agreed with Insaniak, the layout is a little confusing.

While that's true, I would hope that someone who is so adamantly contesting a rule should perhaps do more than skim the page?
