Ok so as the title says I was wondering if a Cryptek or a unit that comes that is with the Veil Cryptek once it re-emerges on the table could it be intercepted? as it says in the entry that they arrive just like they had just DS.

Cheers to all comments .

Interceptor is used against units that arrived from reserves. Did the Veiltek and his unit arrive from Reserves?

This is what I was confused about, it says that when the Veiltek re-emerges it arrives from as if it has just Deep struck, but that also means that it came on from reserves even if it was on the board first turn, as to DS you need to be in reserves first, so as it ran though my head it looked like a big teleporting T-junction.

here is what I think may happen:

Veiltek teleports>goes into reserve>Arrives in selected destination, all within one turn.

However Im being told that it does not work this way, which sort of confused me, as I do not understand how it does not work that way, so any help is appreciated .

As far as I am aware using the veil Immediatly removes them from the field AND then deep strikes them. Its not LIKE deepstriking the wording says it IS deep striking. So I can only conclude that it does infact temporarily place them in ongoing reserves.

Edit: Codex necrons, pg - 84 "The Cryptek and his unit are removed from the tabletop and immediatly deep strike back onto the battlefield."

So like i said. It is actually deep striking after beeing removed from the tabletop.

BRB - pg 38 - At the end of the enemy Movement phase a weapon with the Interceptor special rule can be fired at any one unit that has arrived from reserve within its range and line of sight.

However very crucially, It does NOT follow the rules for beeing placed into ongoing reserves as i thought. And there is no rule that says you can only deep strike after comming from reserves. SO I am going to assume that it works like the Summoning and you may NOT infact shoot them with interceptor. I'm going to check the BRB faq now to see if this is adressed.

Except you are not coming in from reserves since they did not start off the table. They are on the able they are taken off and they are placed back down using the rules for Deep Strike.

Furthermore, if they were placed in Ongoing Reserves, they would have to wait until the following turn to come in.

I agree Happyjew, I was still looking up things and edited my post according to what i found (and came to the same conclusion.)

As has been said, when they are on the table and use it to move, you can't intercept. However, feel free to intercept if they use it to move onto the table from normal reserves.

HIWPI

I interpret the rules as they cannot be intercepted - unless they mishap into ongoing reserve. Since it never says they are placed into reserve temporarily, they cannot be intercepted; however, a mishap of 4+ puts them into ongoing reserve in which case they would they be eligible for being intercepted the following turn.

There is nothing specific in the deepstrike rules that states models must be (or are) put into any kind of reserves before being placed on the table. Now models that are in reserves can be placed via the deepstrike rules and there are provisions for that found in those rules. However, there is nothing preventing a model on the table from using that same rule if the situation warrants.

Ergo, unless the veiling unit actually came in from reserves rather than simply being placed on the table as per the deepstrike rules? Interceptor will not work on them.

Ok thanks everyone
