AoS Rules for summoning and celestial rites

[Stega]

Hi,

A combined post because I have two questions.

The first one is relating to summoning. If I have multiple models of the same type, for example - salamanders, I know I can summon one for 6 CCP. If I have 12 CCP, can I summon them in one unit, to allow me to teleport them the next turn together, or are they treated as separate units, meaning I can only teleport one? The same would apply for skinks, can I summon one 30 skink unit for 18 CCP? Or do they have to be in blobs of 10?

As for celestial rites, when the prayer is made, with priestly trappings the rule is that the prayer affects "any unit within 8"". Does this effect wear off if the unit moves outside of the 8" range of the prayer, for example, say I've got a stegadon and I want it to reroll saves, can I make the prayer, charge the stegadon at a unit over 8" away from the skink priest and still have rerolls to save? Or does the skink priest need to be within 8" at the time when the saves are being rolled?

Thanks and look forward to your responses.

Nope, you can't combine the summons. Which frankly is a shame.

As for celestial rites, when the prayer is made, with priestly trappings the rule is that the prayer affects "any unit within 8"". Does this effect wear off if the unit moves outside of the 8" range of the prayer, for example, say I've got a stegadon and I want it to reroll saves, can I make the prayer, charge the stegadon at a unit over 8" away from the skink priest and still have rerolls to save?

The stegadon needs to be in range when the priest prays so during the hero phase. It can then go and charge of into the distance and retains the buff.

Similarly, if the priest prays and after that the stegadon moves into 8" it doesn't get affected by the rites as the rites have already finished.

THANKYOU!

That's a fantastically clear response. I was going to take 3 salamanders for summoning but I think I'll take them as a starter unit now. This should hopefully work in the tournament tomorrow...

I'm taking a stegadon and a bastiladon with the priest, he can buff them and the stegadon can use the alpha ability to buff the basti

Just commenting to spread the Stegadon love.
