I had a question about the Regrowth Spell:

From reading through the rules for the spell, it states that the champion is the first to be resurrected, then the musician, then Rank and File models.

Now the BRB states that the Champion is always the last model removed from a unit.

So if the Champion is the last model to be removed (and as such the unit is completely wiped out), and the first to be resurrected, does that mean that you can restore units that have been lost?

And if you can, does that mean you can restore a unit on your last turn just to deny Victory Points?

No you can't regrow a wiped unit, but if the champ kroaked in a challenge or due to a template he will be the 1st to come back to life when the spell hits said unit.

I figured I would not be able to "target" a unit if there is no unit.....

But knowing GW and their weird decisions, I really was wondering if this would have been possible.

I agree with Hoverboy, but I remember a very odd thread about just this sort of thing; can a Vampire Lord with the Blood Drinker regain the wounds of a unit that has-in this close-combat phase-just lost it's last model?

In essence, when does a unit count as destroyed? The end of the phase, or the moment the last model is removed?

Sadly, I don't remember the outcome...I want to go with the second option, if only because of my personal grudge against the Lores of Life and Undeath. Funny how that works.

No, he cannot - the BRB FAQ states that he is a new unit the INSTANT the last member of the unit is killed.

Ah. Good. Glad that the Workshop actually stepped in on that one.
