Q: If a transport is destroyed whilst an Ynnari unit is embarked
inside, can that unit make a Soulburst action after it disembarks?
A: No.

Q: Can any Ynnari unit embark on any Ynnari transport?

A: No. Whilst both units have gained the Ynnari
keyword, the Transport ability on the transport’s
datasheet does not change. So, for example, an Ynnari
Starweaver can still only transport ‘6 <Masque>
Infantry models’.

NECRONS
Q: How many wounds do Necron models have when they return
to a unit using Reanimation Protocols?
A: They are returned with their full complement
of wounds.

Q: Can Necrons that have fled the battlefield return using

Reanimation Protocols?
A: No. This ability only allows models that were slain to
return, not models that have fled.

You may find it useful to place Necron models that flee

to one side as a reminder that they cannot return using
their Reanimation Protocols ability.

Q: Can Quantum Shielding be used to prevent damage caused

by mortal wounds?
A: No. Mortal wounds are inflicted one at a time, and
as quantum shielding can never prevent a single point
of damage from being suffered, it cannot prevent
mortal wounds.

Q: If I use the Time’s Arrow C’tan Power on a unit whose

models have different Wounds characteristics, what happens?
A: A model of the owning player’s choice is removed if
the roll exceeds the highest Wounds characteristic in
the unit.
