Just to clarify...
I didn't mean to start a trend of "I'm not having this discussion" when it comes to pretty much anything. I mentioned not wanting to discuss whether people thought pairing stuff a certain way would compromise the integrity of an event because this is not the place for it. Ultimately it's something I have to decide on (and have) and past experience has taught me it's definitely NOT a discussion you want to open up to the public for at least two very solid reasons.
As far as this line thing goes... as unfortunate as it is, *I* think it's very clear. If Pat's quote is accurate, I'm not even sure there's much room to argue intent.
In my opinion, it's crystal clear.
Is a unit under the line?
If yes, how many models are in the unit?
That unit takes that many hits.
"...takes a number of hits equal to the number of models under the line in each unit."
Is very, very different than:
"...takes a number of hits equal to the number of models in the unit under the line."
I would imagine this is absurdly powerful and will likely be FAQ'd to fix that. The RAW can sometimes be really ridiculous and dictate something that is obviously not the intent. Here, I'm not so sure the intent isn't exactly what's written. Again, it seems really clear to me. If the author meant something else, he did a damn good job fooling me.
And yeah, the new Necron book will DEFINITELY be legal for the doubles. The only reason it wasn't legal for the 500 point event was because we didn't get our preview book. (Friggin GW....)
