Holding the Strings.

[Necromorph]

So I'm playing a proxy game with Collodi tomorrow (because I can't wait for his models to come out, lol) and I just had 1 quick question about his ability Holding the Strings, just to make sure I don't abuse something in my game.

Collodi's ability reads, "Friendly Marionettes within 6" may activate immediately after this model's activation ends."

So, the way I read it, each Marionette gets to activate after Collodi, so they each get to activate in a row, before any enemy models, and it doesn't say "simultaneously" anywhere.

I just want to make sure I'm 100% clear, because I know with his insane speed, being able to give everything fast, etc, etc, I can see my opponent questioning and challenging some of my moves, I just want to be sure myself so I can cover my own ass.

Thanks guys.

I believe you are correct. Holding the Strings means that any friendly Marionette within 6" of Collodi at the end of Collodi's activation may activate Immediatly. This means if there are 3, they will all activate before any other model can (ie before your opponent gets a chance to activate something).

So in short, you read it right =)

Correct.

I figured it was better to ask this here...

Since the Marionettes each get to activate immediately, if perchance one was able to kill Dreamer or a Daydream, would LCB get his immediate activation, or would the other Marionettes get their activations first before him?

LCB would get his Activation after the model that Killed the Dreamer finished theirs.

When LCB was finished, the rest of the eligible Marionettes would then activate.
