Cheeky rules question - Tomb Kings Carrion

[Cargo Cult]

Can I be cheeky and ask the Death collective a rules question? I did post this is the correct rules question forum but received total silence in response.

I’m hoping I’m more likely to find a Tomb Kings expert here....

I’m a bit unclear on when Carrion lose the benefit of Circling High Above. If they declare a charge (a Scavengers Dive) but they fail the charge roll, are they still Circling High Above or not?

All help welcome.

Declare charge regardless of success.

I think I agree with your logic, although it says you lose Circling High Above not when you delcare a charge but “as they charge...”

Is there not an argument then that this requires you to succeed in the charge roll?

Unfortunately it's worded very poorly, but when they declare a charge - they lose Circling High Above regardless of whether the charge is successful.

Yeah I think so to. So you can be above an objective, declare a charge, not take the charge regardless of if the roll is good or bad and then be holding the objective yes?

In terms of how the game rules are resolved, yes that can happen. However, if you are purposefully declaring charges you don't plan to take to drop out of flying high I'm sure some opponents would claim you're abusing the rules. It depends who you're playing I guess, would be interesting if you could get an official response on twitter.
