Can some one please tell me in detail how the Staff of the destroyer will damage models. We had some problems with our last match.

Also can you use it in the assault and if so when can you use it.

All these questions should be covered in the relevant codex, YMDC is not a replacement for a book.

We have the codex, we just didn't understand the wording. one person thought it effected the whole unit and another thought it would just hit the troops under the line.

Is it profiled like a weapon? Does it say unit or model?

Any unit, friendly or enemy, under this line takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line.

I don't play the Necrons so I am not sure how it would work. Its from Imhotep the storm lord.

This seems pretty clear to me. Does it have a range or is it a close combat weapon? does it say when to use it? Is it an assault weapon? The answers should be found in the profile.

The unit takes hits based on however many models were covered by the line.

Count the number of models under the line - even just partially. The Unit takes that many hits.

The complicated wording is there because it is possible for models from more than one unit to be under the line. If that happens, count the number of models from the first unit under the line. The first unit unit takes that many hits. Then count the number of models from the second unit under the line. The second unit unit takes that many hits. And so on.

It works pretty much exactly like the death ray from the doom scythe, only Imotekh is always the first point you use.

Step 1: Start = anywhere on Imotekh's base.
Step 2: Roll to see length of the beam
Step 3: Pick another point within that rolled length away from Imotekh
Step 4: Count the number of models underneath a 2mm-wide line drawn from Imotekh to that second point. Pay attention to which unit(s) (if there is more than one) the line is passing over.
Step 5: Cause X hits, (where X is equal to the number of models found under the line in a given unit) to those unit(s) which were hit.

you only allocate a number of hits equal to the number of models which were under the line 'and' a part of the unit. So if the line passes over 1 model from unit A, and 2 models from unit B for example; you'd assign only one hit to unit A and 2 hits to unit B.

Its an assault 1, one use weapon, So can it be used in CC?

It's a shooting weapon. Can you shoot while in CC?
Does it have a Melee profile?

What is the requirement, clearly written in the 6th edition rulebook, for a weapon to be used in close combat?

Hint: Look up the "Melee" rule.

Also look up page 150 under the heading 'Type'.
