Hyperlogical Strategy and reserve rolls+ Chronometron?

Can a Focused Death Ray hit zooming?

Can Canoptek Artillery overwatch/snapshot?

What happens when the line drawn with any deathray intersects with terrain (including impassible)? Are the enemies on the other side affected? This question especially for Doomscythes who can have LOS of enemies behind terrain features.

Can an Overlord intentionally detach from his royal court? If so, what happens to the royal court?

Can an Overlord and his royal court join a unit together?

Can a Monolith deep strike and tank shock simultaneously?

Is the Particle caster/whip coil consider an extra melee weapon for calculating additional melee attacks?

Does Gaze of Flame/ Swarm of spirit dust also give you Blind grenades?

Is Gaze of death activated after the C'tan attacks are resolved or after all attacks are resolved in that particular assault?

I'll answer what I can.

There is no rule that forces the Overlord to attach tot eh Court. it is another unit entirely. As such, if he leaves the Court, the Court continues running around.

Can an Overlord and his royal court join a unit together?

Kind of? If the Court only consists of a single model and that model is assigned to lead a unit, the Overlord can join the unit as well. However, outside of being Sergeants for certain squads, Court members cannot join another unit.

Can a Monolith deep strike and tank shock simultaneously?

No.

Is the Particle caster/whip coil consider an extra melee weapon for calculating additional melee attacks?

IIRC, only Wraiths can take these. They can only take one, and they do not have a CCW to begin with.

Does Gaze of Flame/ Swarm of spirit dust also give you Blind grenades?

Not sure about Gaze of Flame. Swarm of Spirit Dust gives the C'tan Defensive grenades.

Is Gaze of death activated after the C'tan attacks are resolved or after all attacks are resolved in that particular assault?

After all attacks are resolved.

1. No. Hyperlogical is not during a phase.
2. No. FDR cannot be snap shot
3. No. Only crew can fire Overwatch.
4. Terrain does not stop beam
5. They remain a royal court unit. Overlords are independent characters and can join/leave groups
6. The entire royal court cannot. But it can be split up per their rules to have certain characters lead groups. Then the Overlord can join since hes an IC
7. No. (There are threads on this that debate it. You can read those debates there)
8. Particle casters are pistols and would qualify IF the model already has a melee weapon. (Wraiths do not)
9. Only if it says it does. (No for Swarm of spirits.)
10. After all blows have been done.

Does a Chronometron and Chronomantic sight stack?

Can the Maynarkh take a Transcendent C'tan or Obelisk?

You can't reroll something twice, but otherwise Yes: Toholk and a Chronometron Cryptek grant their unit two rerolls. As would having Chronometron Crypteks from more than one court join the same unit.

Can the Maynarkh take a Transcendent C'tan or Obelisk?

Probably not by raw, but I doubt anyone would actually care outside of a tournament.

It's against fluff to take a C'tan of any sort for Maynark, mind.

If it's not on the Dark Harvest list, you can't take it. Having said that, talk to your friends. I would let my friends do it. I also wouldn't expect it to be allowed in a tournament setting.

Thanks for the prompt responses guys.

Just to pick your brains some more. So if a zooming flyer is in the path of the deathray line, it doesn't qualify as a hit? Only hover mode? I'm not certain that the deathray rules apply with actual snapshot mechanics.

In addition, the way the royal court description is written in the 5th edition codex, it's reads out as if you take the RC along with the Overlord, they become an extension of the Overlord, not the other way around. Kinda like how the CCB becomes the Overlord, circumventing standard vehicle rules and joining units. Then again maybe I'm projecting. I'm not arguing my points just making observations.

Also I read somewhere that Chronometron roll apply to Imotehk's night fighting rules. Technically, "Start of turn" resolutions are not classified as a phase, like all other segments of the turn is. So does predeployment also fall into this ambiguous category?

Any attack that does not roll To Hit, cannot hit a Zooming Flyer. If it is in Hover, then it is treated as a Skimmer.

Your projecting.
