Instant Death and Reanimation Protocols

[pnkfld7892]

Does instant death negate Necrons from being able to self repair with reanimation protocols? I couldn't find anything in the rulebook, codex, or FAQ that states that instant death cancels out Reanimation.

No it doesnt. Necrons can still Rez from ID. Im pretty sure theres very little that negates it tbh. Even JotWW doesnt stop it if I remember rightly.

I believe the only thing that stops RP is not having any models left alive. The only thing that stops Everliving is not being able to place your model.

There was some confusion for a bit regarding whether "removes from play" effects count as "casualties" or not. But the latest rulebook FAQ clarified that they did, and now Reanimation Protocols work against almost everything that removes individuals models from play (including standard casualties). The only way to "negate" it is to remove the entire unit.
