Usually it's: kill grunts, next maintenance phase return grunts.

So kill unit commander, promote grunt. No models returned next phase. (Unit commander is not a grunt)

Kill grunts, kill unit commander. Remove the killed grunts from play. Promote one of the remaining grunts. No models returned next maintenance phase.

I think that's how it works.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2605840.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2605840.page GMT Re:Revanant Crew Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2606404.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2606404.page GMT Re:Revanant Crew Question I have used Gorman as a cloud generator for the QM to keep him safe.

Pretty much the gamble is "How many can I kill before I try for the QM".
I have had opponents get greedy on killing the rest of the unit, and only have one shot on the QM.
If that shot fails, Bam, whole unit comes back.

I too look forward to adding riflemen and running Terminus' Tier list.
Though I noticed that having everything but him and his battlegroup incorporeal leaves him real vulnerable to early ranged attacks.

He's got flight and armor 24 anyway (he's not casting spells or handing out focus) so there's not much that will do more than plink him.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2607492.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2607492.page GMT Revanant Crew Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2607902.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2607902.page GMT Revanant Crew Question

It would. That's why finding a way to block LOS is so important for them.
In my experience, in the first game opponents will kill a few grunts not realizing the abilities, see them come back and spend the next turn shooting as much as possible at the Rev Crew.
Then as they get familiar with the unit, they become less and less effective.
I would hate to face the MHSF. Absolutely no way to keep the QM safe after first turn.

@12thRonin First game with the Terminus Tier list, opponent took 9 off him with a Destroyer.
If he had more ranged attacks, I would have been in trouble.

You weren't camping focus then, were you? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2610882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2610882.page GMT Revanant Crew Question

INFBlue13 wrote:Yeah, but you can trample through him and boost that hit if you don't have space.

No, you can't. You move first, then make attacks, so unless there's sufficient open space to place the trampling model initially, you can't trample to that location.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621385.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621385.page GMT Revanant Crew Question LOS blocking models with?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621436.page GMT Re:Revanant Crew Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621588.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621588.page GMT Revanant Crew Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621699.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621699.page GMT Re:Revanant Crew Question
Re-read Deathbound.

I imagine the timing appendix of the MkII rulebook would be useful in resolving your question.
I expect that all casualties are removed from play, since the model that was leader when they were hit and damaged is no longer there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621910.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2621910.page GMT Revanant Crew Question

INFBlue13 wrote:hey, I get it, I'm saying if you don't have room, you trample him too! and boost the crap outta that attack! or trample from the side to find a better hole. You might have to actually stage it the round before by sending multiple possible jacks that way, and using just one when you attack. Most people who play the crew spread them out anyway, so it will likely not be a problem.

I'm just saying that trampling because you "think" you have 2" of round space
between crew members is risky. You can't trample perfectly, it must be in a
straight line. You don't get to pre-measure the trample outside of checking
your control area. If you declare the trample and the trample fails, you're down
at least one focus point and your jack ends in base contact with a revenant,
accomplishing nothing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2622496.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2622496.page GMT Revanant Crew Question
For me I leave the leader of the unit as far behind as I can, possibly protected by something that can't be trampled. (think node or stalker or a brute, maybe even eskarres feat, anything like that.)

I see your points, I just don't think they out weigh the effectiveness of this tactic. If trample was the only option, maybe i'd rethink, but I always try to put myself in situations with multiple options. Like the trample/aoe strategy. It alows you to react to your enemies move. And one viable option is Trample! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2626033.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2626033.page GMT Revanant Crew Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2627209.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2627209.page GMT Revanant Crew Question http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2627618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/356511/2627618.page GMT
