Diagramdude Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 "on a 4+ you can return one destroyed model from that unit to the battlefield with 1 wound remaining, placing it within 3" of this model and in unit coherency." If you Upon Wings of Fire a damaged jump pack unit 9" away from the enemy and have your Sanguinary Priest in the right position, you could resurrect a casualty and place that model within 2" coherency but as close as possible to the enemy charge target. From the other side of the resurrected model's base you would be within 6" of the enemy unit for a much easier charge!

Hintzy Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Yeah, this is a real good catch. I can't think of anything offhand that might disallow it. I know Chaos Demons can accomplish some similar, much more easily, when Horrors split as a result of overwatch. That's been allowed in tournaments at the highest level so this should be totally good to go, albeit a bit more challenging to accomplish I think.

SnorriSnorrison Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 This sounds sooo cheesy, brother :D But you know, if the stars align and it’s technically legal, why not? Just don’t do it in a friendly game. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363396-tactical-application-of-narthecium/#findComment-5511134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 *Imagines the priest flying about with his dying brother in tow* Good find, though. It doesn't even have to be that way, move the jumpers into position then UWoF the priest to them?

Xenith Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 *Starts looking for Sanguinary Priest Bitz* This can also help out slow chargers, right? Imagine a unit of cataphractii or aggressors that might be 10" away from the target, resurrect a guy and suddenly youre 88mm closer...

Diagramdude Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 This trick is a bit handicapped when using two wound models like Sanguinary Guard or Terminators because the ressurected model will have only 1 wound remaining and will be the first removed by overwatch. Then you're back where you started. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363396-tactical-application-of-narthecium/#findComment-5511364 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diagramdude Posted April 23, 2020 Author Share Posted April 23, 2020 If your unit has any wounded models you have to allocate wounds to them first before any full models. This prevents people from spreading wounds around their multi-wound models before finally removing one.

Djangomatic82 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 If your going up against something with a lot of shots, the Chalice Overflowing strat might solve that issue, if you have the CP remaining.

Then you're back where you started. Indeed, This gives a decent advantage to Sorrow's Genesis, which resurrects at 3W. Makes up for the lack of +1" to charge distance for FT's I guess, but a nice boost to my planned FT Aggressor blob.

Diagramdude Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Yeah Xenith, Sorrow's Genesis is amazing for this especially because it works on a 2+. With the 4+ you're potentially burning an extra CP on the reroll, which could fail and then force you to use Descent of Angels for the 9" charge. Now you're out 5 CP instead of 4 for the normal UWOF/DOA or just 2 if the resurrection had worked.
