Endless Legions Summonable Rule?

[CaptainSoup]

When using the Endless Legions command ability for GHoN, two questions:

Is this considered a summon?

Is this ability suffer from any summoning penilties? (Only summon minimal amount of models in the unit)

If possible please link rules for clarification.

Thanks!

@CaptainSoup it is still a summoning ability. It just works very differently from daemon summoning, and is also built mostly around bringing units back, rather than bringing in additional units. 

Exception to this being sacrament (maybe other legions also have it), where if they wipe out a unit near a graveyard they get a chance to summon in a unit from that graveyard. Something like that. 

Point being, it's limitations are expressed internally, not via principles presented in a different army book

Uhm, summoning penalties? I don't think there are any.

I think I have some more clarification. Endless legions isn't really a summon as I'm bringing a unit already destroyed back to life.

By limitations I mean by other armies that summon. For example if a demon army summons a new unit it has to be the minimal amount of models for that unit. There are no rules for death and summoning so we were kinda going with what other armies deal with in their summoning.

But I've kind of answered my own question in that the ability isn't an official summon per se. The rules are just really vague because the units I can bring back have the SUMMONABLE keyword.

Daemons don't summon minimum units, they summon units of specific sizes depending on how many of the relevant points you invest on their relevant charts.
