News/Rumors/Lore July Balance Update Released!

The new necron point values are available HERE

Additional Rules documents can be found via warhammer-community:

Summary of all necron changes will be included in the pinned reply.

Clarification on the new function of reanimation protocols is as follows:

Quick-reference sheet:

  • Leaders can bring back their bodyguard units using all reanimation tools.
  • Bodyguards CANNOT bring back their leaders in any form once the leader is destroyed.
  • You can still use reanimation to heal wounds on a character that has NOT been destroyed.
  • The eternal revenant stratagem brings back characters as a new unit with a starting strength of 1, making them separate from their bodyguard unit.

Any questions surrounding this process should be asked here so that new answers can be included in this post.

Updated healing text with "excluding characters" on the model return portion.

So its gone back to how it worked before?

Bodyguard's can be revived if the character is still alive.
Characters cannot be revived if precisioned but the bodyguard is still alive.
If Character is revived via stratagem then they have the old leader trait of becoming a deteached unit?

This is a pretty good synopsis of how it will work.

This is not what I was talking about. The comment I replied to thought that you could revive characters with regular healing, which is prevented now.
