Correct Undead minions Roll order

[sainted75]

I know this may have been covered before but i couldn't find it via the search. Whats the correct order of rolling for a Necromancer with the ossific diadem artifact? Is it 6+ necromancer save>undead Minions>deathless Minions? then, Undead minions>ossific diadem on skellies.

Against a normal wound the Necromancer gets a 6+ save; a mortal wound ignores this step.  If the Necro fails that save then you would normally allocate a wound, but Undead Minions kicks in before the wound is allocated and moves it to a summonable unit if successful.  If Undead Minions is not successful, then the wound is allocated to the Necro, which the Necro can ignore through a Deathless Minions roll.  If Undead Minions is successful, then the skeletons would be allocated the wound instead of the Necromancer, and Ossific Diadem and Deathless Minions would give them two 6+ chances to ignore the wound.

• Necromancer: 6+ save > Undead Minions > if failed, Deathless Minions
• Skeletons: Ossific Diadem > Deathless Minions OR Deathless Minions > Ossific Diadem, they occur at the same time and have the same effect so the order doesn't really matter.
