Thus, they are just another chance that he'll hit his allies, they don't reverse the effect of him attacking his allies.armelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187905251889771969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130256473248019105.post-61917956347927166042011-11-19T08:28:17.040+00:002011-11-19T08:28:17.040+00:00What if Kharn charged into a unto a unit of Necron...What if Kharn charged into a unto a unit of Necrons aldready engages with (say) Khorne Berzerkers and then he fails the mind-trick-thing?

Keep in mind, that Kharn is IC, and IC forms his own unit when in an assault. So you can further assume that Kharn hits himself, his unit in an assault.Torgrimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733602482336283439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1130256473248019105.post-52970340534458992432011-11-09T14:20:00.183+00:002011-11-09T14:20:00.183+00:00AbusePuppy's interpretation makes sense then -...AbusePuppy's interpretation makes sense then - I knew Necrons weren't psykers per se, but I wasn't sure what Mindshackle Scarabs were not having read through much of the new Necron background.
