So I had an interesting experience today wanted to confirm that I played this right.

So I blow up a Stompa thanks to warscythes, however since we attacked at the same time he killed me with his stomp attack and big sword. So since I died before the explosion occurred I still get my ever-living correct?

I know that his chain sword is a D-weapon, but there were only 2 wounds and I had 4 IC's.

You make not make Ever Living "saves" (or whatever they're called) against D weapons. This is because the D weapon rules calls out things "such as Feel No Pain and Reanimation Protocols." Since Everliving is like RP, then you can't do it.

No saving throws of any kind are allowed against
damage from a Destroyer weapon, including special rolls such as Feel No Pain or Necron Reanimation Protocols.

So no any special rules that can save the model.

That is the thing, I died before the D-weapon explosion, not from it.


I know there are no saves allowed.

Aren't the Stompa's close combat attacks Strength D?

With the big chain arm thing yes, but not the 3 stomp attacks that it gets

Then if the model died to the stomp attacks you'd still be able to make the Everliving roll.

you need to keep the D attacks and the STOMP attacks separate as you would a force weapon or different AP's

models that only suffer the stomp thing get/or dont get whatever saves or rules allowed by the stomp attacks,

and the D stuff will just go poof in another wound pool

If the explosion killed you with the "D" portion of the blast, then no.

If he rolled a "6" for his stomp attack, then no (the models are removed from the board without any kind of saves applied).

If he hit you with his D stick, then no.

All other results (the other strengths from the explosion, a normal stomp attack at S6) would allow it.

Each D- hit that wounds is a minimum of d3+3 wounds.... i dont know how stomp and his reg hits didnt just wipe all them off before the explosion

D hits might do no wounds at all - rolling a 1 means nothing happens.

2-5 do d3+1, not +3. So 3-wound characters can live through it.

The stomp attacks do S6 hits that are only AP4, so they can easily survive that.

For stomps only a 6 removes them from play entirely.

This is incorrect as per the FAQ for reanimation; you do get RP from remove from play weapons - Str D is the only exception as it explicitly denies it.

Jaws of the world wolf, too, allows you to come back? Must be in the FAQ as a rules change, raw it doesn't allow it because the last wound is never removed and the model isn't there to lay on its side.

Last wound? Are you using a really old version of the rule?
It doesn't mention wounds, nor laying anything on it's side.

Main rule book FAQ pg4:

Q: If a model is ‘removed from play’ due to such effects as failing
their Initiative test against ‘Jaws of the World Wolf’, does this
count as being removed as a casualty? (p15)
A: Yes.

...and as mentioned, wounds don't play into triggering RP at all.

You hit him as he hit you, and he exploded. Therefor you died at the exact same time the explosion occurred. Any other way would mean he killed you before you hit him and caused him to explode.

This is correct so long as the attacks are all made at the same initiative step(the only way the described situation can occur); where we are told the whole attacks process is simultaneous.

Think of it this way. A hit from any weapon with a D strength and you are so utterly obliterated there is nothing left to reanimate.
