Vorenus Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 The Tallyman's ability entitled "The Seven-fold Chant" states: "If your army is Battle-forged and you have any Tallymen on the battlefield, roll 2D6 each time you spend Command Points to use a Death Guard Stratagem (pg 98-99). If the result is 7, Nurgle bestows his blessing upon your army; the Command Points spent to use that Stratagem are immediately refunded." Does this work if the Tallyman is in a transport? Does being in a transport count as being "on the battlefield"? Thanks. --Vorenus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gederas Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Does this work if the Tallyman is in a transport? Does being in a transport count as being "on the battlefield"? No to both. All abilities do not work when a unit is embarked on a transport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorenus Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 Could you please provide me with a source for that rule? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Ruminahui Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) When a unit embarks in a transport you "remove it from the battlefield" - I therefore can't see how you can be counted as being on the battlefield. That said, for deployment purposes, putting a unit on a transport counts as putting it on the battlefield. So it's not as clear as I thought. I had thought there was something in the main FAQ on this, but I can't seem to find it. Would the general rule for transports (page 137 of the main book) prevent the Taliman's rules from triggering? It states that units in transports "cannot normally do anything or be affected in any way whilst they are embarked".

Vorenus Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 You have identified the reason why I am confused. I don't know the answer, at least not conclusively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
