COMMAND PROTOCOLS
If every unit from your army (excluding DYNASTIC AGENT, C’TAN SHARD and UNALIGNED units) is from the same dynasty, and you select a NOBLE model to be your WARLORD, this unit is eligible to benefit from this ability and the following rules apply.
Is TSK a NOBLE and your warlord ? Yes, he is. He must be your warlord, when he is in your army. And is every unit from your army from the same dynasty (excluding TSK because he is a DYNASTIC AGENT) ? If yes, you can use command protocols.
At the start of each battle round, if any NOBLE units from your army are on the battlefield, the command protocol that you assigned to that battle round becomes active for your army until the end of that battle round. Each command protocol is made up of two directives. When a command protocol becomes active for your army, reveal it to your opponent and select one of its directives. Until the assigned command protocol stops being active, while a unit that is eligible to benefit from this ability is within 6" of a friendly NECRONS CHARACTER model (excluding C’TAN SHARD models), that unit benefits from the selected directive.
Is TSK within 6" of a friendly NECRONS CHARACTER ? Yes, because he himself is a NECRONS CHARACTER, and he is within 6" of himself.
1. Protocol of the Eternal Guardian
Directive 1: Each time an attack is made against this unit, if it did not make a Normal Move, Advance or Fall Back this battle round, this unit receives the benefit of Light Cover
TSK can benefit from this protocol, if it did not make a Normal Move, Advance or Fall Back this battle round.
