Topic: "I'll be back" after cross-fire

[Logar]

Just to clear a few debats a fellow gamer and i have over necrons and cross-fire,

if a unit of necrons are forced to retreat for any reason
e.g. loss of combat, and suffer cross fire thus wipeing them out, but there is a model within 6" e.g. lord, do they get an I'll be back save or not???

i would be gratful if you cleared this up as it has been the center of many arguments against my fellow gamers.

Hmm...I'm a bit fuzzy on the crossfire rule....is there a rule stating that any unit(from any army) could get wiped out due to crossfire? I remember there was something about fading out if caught in crossfire for the old necrons, but in the codex I don't think they held onto it.

Supposing they had, if a unit is phased out its phased out, they can't get back up if they're not there.

that was the old rules im talking about the new rules, there is no rule stating ( or not to my knowledge ) about i'll be back saves and cross-fire

I don't believe the do get there WBB rolls, even if there is another unit within 6". Don't quote me on it, but I'm sure I've seen it somewhere...

If you are unsure, go with what you know. If there is a unit within 6" and the Lord with R Orb, then they can WBB, otherwise, no.

Bit silly really, you would have thought that gamesworkshop would have thought of that in play testing the army list.

cheers for your help anyway

As far as I can remember, which probably isn't quite right.. Necrons don't get their WBB rolls after being crossfired. 

The actual ruling (don't ask me where it is) stated something along the lines of that since the Necrons aren't actually dealt wounds, or have their wounds reduced to 0, they don't get the roll.  They are in effect just erased.  It came from the wording of the WBB rule in the codex; which I don't have handy.  Sorry, that's the best I can do.
