It is late, I'm at work doing some overtime, and I dont have my rule books with me. Only my Tyranid codex and a foggy brain.

---Killing Strike:= Flesh Hooks and C.C. count as rending on any roll "to-wound" of 5 or 6.

*-My question:= does this mean it is already rending and thus has an AP of 1 and yadda yadda, or does this mean it counts as having the rending ability and has the chance to rend from there? I also currently forget if the rending ability is checked during "to-hit" or if it is checked during "to-wound" so that might be the reason for my current confusion.

---"Where'd it go?":= if it's moving phase ends with Deathleaper more than 1" away from an enemy, you can decide to remove Deathleaper from table and place him back into reserves. (or even the Mawloc Burrow ability is worded much the same way)

*-My question:= I was just wondering for some strange reason, I dont know what made me think of this, I was thinking that maybe, possibly since it says "removed from table" first, does that mean any wounds they may have suffered while "on table" are removed/discarded when they themselves are "removed from table" and then they come back into play fully healed?

(long overtime hours + lack of sleep= silly questions and thoughts)

Not really sure what you're asking. But when he hits with his flesh hooks, any 5's or 6's to wound count as rending. As in, if he rolls a 5 or a 6 to wound, it rends (AP1 and all that jazz).

No. Just. . .no. You're closer to the point asking if Deathleaper is destroyed when he leaves the table, because that's actually something mentioned in the rulebook, whereas healing a unit is not.

Actually rending is AP2, not AP1.

All it means is he has an improved chance to rend - instead of needing to roll a "6" to wound he needs a 5 or 6.

And definitely no - any wounds suffered go with him.

Only rending shooting attacks are ap2, cc rending attacks ignore armor saves.

And don't forget his rending is not improved against vehicles.

Wow, just...WOW! Last night I was so freaking tired, and now that I have finally gotten some sleep, I don't even remember posting those questions

I too don't even know what I was asking.

I can't even begin to comprehend what made me think units heal themselves when they return to reserves. That is like saying when ever my Swooping Hawks use their Skyleap ability all the dead ones come back to life when they deep strike back in.

I just want to say thank you to all of you who have done the noble thing and tried to help me even though I obviously wasn't making any sense. If it wasn't for the fact that I was at work all night, I would say it looks like I was out drinking all night.

I also just want to apologize, and make it my sworn duty to never do any more sleepwalking Internet posting.
