James S Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Is there a FAQ for this ability? Seems like there are two ways to play it and I'm very confused. If anyone could point me in the right direction or explain it, I would be very much appreciative. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me there’s only one way as wounds are allocated 1 at a time so if after using Cycle of the Storm there remains wounds to allocate they must continue to be allocated to the unit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just asking since I was told that when the slain model comes back, all the damage is lost. I thought it was as you said. So say I fight 10 Liberators. I do 25 damage that goes through. All the Liberators are slain and then one comes back to life. There is still 5 damage that hasn't been dealt. Is it lost or goes back on that Liberator? Another example. This time for one model. Say a Stardrake. It has 2 wounds left, I do 10 damage that gets through. It is slain and then returned. All the extra damage is negated? This is an incredibly strong ability of that is so.

0 Somanlius Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 So does that mean that Cycle of the Storm have a very very limited utility? Someone has to score the exact ammout of wounds needed to kill a model in order for it to actually come back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an ability that allows you to heal a wound inflicted on a unit that can override the "slain models can't be healed" rule in the right conditions, and doesn't require a command point or casting roll.

0 Bigbru Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hi, Sorry for the necromancy, but we have walked in an issue with this ability and couldn't find an answer. What happen when a model is slain by ability like Cursed Stele or Hand of Dust ? - Does the model come back with his full life ? - Since the healing can't be resolved, does he stay dead ?

My answer would be that applying the heal is not a condition for the ability to trigger ("you can heal"), so they would come back to life to full health (or with the same amount of wounds they had before -1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
