When you deep strike you don't 'deploy' again you can't mark another unit. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003228.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003228.page GMT Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not . Goes like this : you deploy them, marking somebody, before the game starts they return to reserves as if never deployed with the c'tan power and then you deploy them via their first deep strike which actually counts as deploying that moment. There you have a fully legal double mark, which can be devastating if those two units are either large numbered mobs or point-costy elite units. 2+ wound is devastating anyway you see it, add AP1 and 'no cover saves' to that and everybody trembles ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003281.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003281.page GMT Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not

Ask a TO/opponent beforehand. Trying to drop it in without warning is kind of a jerk move. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003415.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003415.page GMT Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not
Whenever you deep strike, or arrive by deep strike, you are deploying/redeploying.

The issue is with the deathmark rule, stating whenever you deploy.

Basically it's yet another matt ward rule.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003489.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003489.page GMT Re:Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not BRB FAQ says the whole unit has to have the Deep Strike rule for the unit to be allowed to Deep Strike. Joining a Cryptek to the Deathmarks makes them not able to Deep Strike.

I thought you had to have the USR Deep Strike to DS. Veil doesn't give a unit that does it? I don't have a Necron codex...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003796.page GMT Re:Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not

You mean this?

Q: Can a veil of darkness be used instead of moving onto the board
when a unit arrives from reserve? (p84)
A: Yes.

I don't see anything about the unit having the DS USR...again no Necron codex.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003952.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5003952.page GMT Re:Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not

They don't need it?
I'm not sure what your point is. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5004021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5004021.page GMT Necrons==> Not sure if I spotted some cheese or not

Archon Pat wrote:Alright, so with Deathmarks with their hunters from hyperspace rule, any joining royal court member joining gains the rule as well. So you attach a Cryptec of Despair with their staff and Veil of Darkness. So the staff becomes useful but turning into a 2+ to wound. But here is the cheese. From what I can see from the hunters rule is that when you deploy you choose a unit and mark them so you get 2+ to wound on them. Would you get to reassign every time you Deepstrike with the unit. Your technically redeploying via deepstrike. So could you mark another unit every time you do this? I've looked around and can't find anything in FAQ that would suggest no other then maybe a loose usage of the word deploy.


There have been several threads dedicated to this.

Anyway, the general concensus is thus: RAW, it -technically- allows you to 'mark' another unit.


However, please take this into consideration: I am a Necron player, a stalwart defender of allegedly-overpowered Necron rules, and I play most of my games (unfortunately) in a very WAAC meta.

That being said, even I would call abusing the rule this way a total dick move. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5004423.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/490361/5004423.page GMT
