So this is probably going to be a simple yes or no.

The relic doesn't follow the normal rules for controlling an objective, but does it follow the normal rules for contesting it?

No, it has its own specific rules. 'The Relic is worth 3 Victory Points to the player who has seized it', and the only way to seize it is to end your movement phase in base contact with it.

Dammit, I knew I won that game. Thanks man

Relic page 131, Here ill quote it for you.... The model in a scoring unit can seize the relic by moving into base contact during the movement phase.

A Relic may well be an objective, in the fact that it can be claimed, giving it the 'slang' of objective, however what it is not is a Objective, which is what the rulebook says.

And don't bother telling me you knew you won all along, you wouldn't have come ask this question if you knew.

Most times it best not to argue over rules you know are right with certain people. Particularly in a friendly game. In a Tourney, the TO can always answer.

Yeah, no contesting the relic. The only way to get it is to kill the model carrying in, making him drop it, and then pick it up with your own scoring model.

You only get the points if a model is carrying it at the end of the game. Its pretty clear if you just read the rules in the brb.

You can deny it by standing on it though even if you cant pick it up.

Wow Lloyd way to be bitter!


And as the post below yours points out some times it's best just to let things rest in a friendly game, and resolve them another time rather than having a big rules dispute at the critical moment of the last turn after a very fun game, which would only lead to a sour taste in everyone's mouth.

I wasn't after when you get the points, I was after whether or not it could be denied like another normal objective.
