Here's a poser which I think deserves its own thread--I've done a lot of research but can't find any answers in C:N, the BRB, the GW FAQ or this forum's FAQ.
Do fallen Necrons get removed during WBB if there are no like models within 6", even if there are still units of the same type on the table?
Consider this example: my squad of Warriors gets wiped out by weapons that would allow me a WBB. However, no units of Warriors are within 6". No Tomb Spyder is within 12". However, there ARE other Warriors on the table. At the start of my turn, I obviously can't attempt WBB for them... but do I remove the models? The codex says models which fail WBB get removed, and they "cannot self-repair" when destroyed by S=2T, power weapons, etc., but for the models-in-range issue the wording is "the self-repair ability only works if the wounded Necron is within 6" of another... [etc.]" This indicates to me that the robots on the ground can't try it yet. If I don't have to remove the models, I could try to get them to be able to WBB on a later turn by moving a Tomb Spyder or another unit of Warriors to within range.
This was a BIG issue in a game I played against an Eldar army--I would have phased out early (due to stupid tactics on my own behalf... and a little bit of cheese on my opponent's :messed: ) were I not able to try to res them. We looked through rulebooks for maybe 10 minutes, but then decided to just roll a die for it and move on. (Luckily the die landed in my favor...)
In another sort-of-related question, when rolling WBB, do you play with "chained" WBB? Id est, how do you deal with models *currently* outside of 6" of a similar Necron, but by resurrecting other Necrons during WBB rolls you can get the still-downed ones to be in range?
I figured these questions would spark enough controversy that they might be better asked here before transferring them to the sprawling FAQ thread.
