Hi Everyone

I'm starting to run my knights as house Hawkshroud and I want to use the Duty of the Forsworn warlord trait. I'm curious as to how it works with things that allow your opponent to redeploy stuff.

The rule says, "at the start of the first battle round but before the first turn beings select an enemy unit and get +1 to hit vs that unit"

This came up in playing my buddy who has Necrons with the Deciever whose rules say, "After deployment, but before the first turn begins, you can redeploy the Deceiver and/or up to D3 other friendly NECRON units at least 12" away from an enemy....."


My question is: which comes first? Does my friend with Necrons redeploy and *then* I choose who to be Forsworn against or the other way around? Thanks!

If two rules are to be resolved at the same time players roll a dice, the winner determines who goes first.

Rulebook FAQ covers this.

Q: If both players have Stratagems or abilities that are used ‘at the beginning of the first battle round but before the first turn begins’ (for example, if both players use the Forward Operatives
Stratagem from Codex: Chaos Space Marines), who resolves their abilities first?
A: Unless the rule in question says otherwise, the players roll off and, starting with the winner, alternate resolving such rules one at a time.
