Codex warfare secondary and doctrine manipulation

[angrom]

Hi All,

 

I was wondering how the secondary SM "Codex warfare" work with ability that change doctrine for a unit

Would you say that a unit that count the doctrine as devastator when the rest of army is in tactical would score a VP

if it kills a unit with a heavy weapon?

 

If you select this objective, you score victory points as follows:

Score 1 victory point at the end of the battle (to a maximum of 5 victory points) for each enemy unit that was destroyed as the result of an attack made with a Heavy or Grenade weapon by an ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army while the Devastator Doctrine was active for your army.

Score 1 victory point at the end of the battle (to a maximum of 5 victory points) for each enemy unit that was destroyed as the result of an attack made with a Rapid Fire or Assault weapon by an ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army while the Tactical Doctrine was active for your army.

Score 1 victory point at the end of the battle (to a maximum of 5 victory points) for each enemy unit that was destroyed as the result of an attack made with a Pistol or Melee weapon by an ADEPTUS ASTARTES unit from your army while the Assault Doctrine was active for your army.

No. You've quoted the secondaries yourself, and they clearly state that the doctrine must be active for your army in order for you to score VPs.

 

So using your example, if you've chosen Tactical Doctrine for the army that turn, a single unit being in Devastator Doctrine can't score VPs for units destroyed with heavy weapons because the army as a whole was in Tactical Doctrine at the time.
