"At the start of the Assault phase, after assault moves have been made, but before any blows are struck randomly select an enemy model in base contact with the bearer of the mindshackle scarabs."

The key part of the sentence is "after assault moves have been made".

The question is: must a unit have assaulted into combat as a condition in order for mindshackle scarabs to activate, or are the scarabs activated every assault phase that the necron lord is in combat?

In other words, the scarabs activate in the first asasult phase. Do they then activate in subsequent phases even though no assault moves have been made?
