Hey I just wanted some clarification here to make sure I'm doing this right.

So the strength from death rules states "Whenever a unit is completely destroyed within 7" of one or more non-vehicle units that consists only of models with this special rule, pick one of those units to make a soulburst action."

Inevitable Death rule states "Unless the yncarne has been slain, each time a unit (friend or foe) is completely destroyed unless it was destroyed because it fled the battle), you may immediately place the Yncarne as close as possible to the position of that unit, at least 1" from all enemy models, even if the Ynacrne is still in reserve.

The Sequencing rule states "While playing Warhammer 40,000, you’ll occasionally find that two or more rules are to
be resolved at the same time – normally ‘at the start of the Movement phase’ or similar.
When this happens, and the wording is not explicit as to which rule is resolved first, then
the player whose turn it is chooses the order. If these things occur before or after the
game, or at the start or end of a game turn, the players roll-off and the winner decides in
what order the rules are resolved in."

So does strength from death occur at the same time as inevitable death? They both occur when a unit is completely destroyed. In this way if a unit of mine dies could i place the yncarne and then have it move by soulbursting since i could choose to have it placed first and then check strength from death since on my turn i can choose sequencing?

I get that this wouldn't help on the opponent's turn because they could just choose to check for strength for death first since they can choose the sequence bt it would allow niche opportunities on my turn and give me a little more options.

YMDC, can the yncarne arrive via inevitable death and then soulburst for a free move?

In terms of placing the YnCarne, you would place it either before the eligible units make a Soulburst action or after.

In terms of the YnCarne benefiting from the actual destruction of the unit that causes it to be placed, the unit is technically "destroyed" before the YnCarne is placed so you would not be able benefit from its Strength From Death rule to then also make a Soulburst action.

I agree with mortetvie, the Yncarne isn't there when the unit dies so you wouldn't get SfD too.

However I think it would work if a unit was killed while within 7" of Yncarne as then they are both triggered.

Also mortrtvie what is with the rendome capitilization of the C in Yncarne?

If both special rules trigger on destroying an enemy, then Sequencing lets the active player decide which to resolve first. To trigger both rule you have to meet the conditions for both, including being within 7" when it is destroyed.

Yncarne does not get a free soulburt when he arrives to the game with his inevitable death rule. This is plainly obvious as he is not on the table when the unit is destroyed.

It's the same argument with SFD and transports. You don't get to soulburst if you are embarked on a transport that is destroyed. You aren't actually on the table if you are in a transport.
