Ok, a cryptek can preform rites of reanimation and a ghost ark has the repair barge rule. So, if say a unit of warriors loses like 8 warriors.

Now obvious;y I want to roll all 8 dice for rp. If i raise d3 of them with the crypty or the barge I roll fewer dice for the rest. So, can I roll for RP with the full 8 dice then use the special ability to raise d3 of them from the ones that would have been lost anyway or does it have to be at the same time?

As much as RP got nerfed here in some ways I'd favor the first option as it doesn't lower the number of dice you roll for rp so it's not weakening your rp roll, it's just adding more returnees.

Please read the rules in question, they are 100% crystal clear. Let me give you a hint, they dont work like you think they do.

You roll RP after enemy has attacked. Those that fail are removed and aren't rolled for again. Only some rules(rites of reanimation, ghost ark etc) return dead models back later. Separate systems.

Ok that's what i thought it would be, still between 2020 and gw I wasn't sure.
