Operation Assassinate Command Benefit

[Alessander]

Officio Assassinorum:
Operation Assassinate: If the mission you are playing uses Victory Points, you receive
one bonus Victory Point at the end of the game if the enemy’s Warlord was removed as a
casualty as a result of a Wound inflicted by a model with this special rule.

Unfortunetly, it doesn't say "wound inflicted by a model with this special rule in this formation". What's stopping you from taking several assassin detachments (say, 10 Vindicaires) and immediately scoring 10 VP for popping the enemy warlord?

[DWest]

No, but if you re-read the rule you posted, it says:

Operation Assassinate: If the mission you are playing uses Victory Points, you receive
one bonus Victory Point at the end of the game if the enemy’s Warlord was removed as a
casualty as a result of a Wound inflicted by a model with this special rule.

So only a model with the "Operation Assassinate" rule will generate the VP. I don't have the dataslate yet, but presumably that rule is limited to the Assassins themselves.

[Alessander]

Each assassin detachment has only 1 assassin (or 4 if you take the execution force).

Each detachment has the special rule. It's not a special rule of the assassins, but the detachment.

The rule doesn't specifify that an assassin from that specific detachment doesn't generate the VP - just if you killed a warlord with someone with that rule. Does the Victory trigger even on detachments that have the rule but didn't place the kill themselves? RAW, not RAI.

[Charon]

What makes you think you get more than 1 VP?

[Brother Daedulus]

Only one Victory point you get brah, as only one of the assassins can cause the final wound that kills the warlord

[DarkLink]

Did an assassin inflict the final wound? If so, 1vp. If not, 0vp. Simple as that.

[Tyrendian]

Did an assassin inflict the final wound? If so, 1vp. If not, 0vp. Simple as that.

which is exactly what the rule on the detachment says - but that rule happens to exist several times in your army on separate entities... still wouldn't play it that way, but I do see the OPs point

[hyudun]

It's does NOT say "for each model"; it's for each Wound (caused by a model with the rule). One wound = one VP - doesn't matter how many models you have because only one wound can cause a casualty and only the model that inflicted the wound AND has the special rule will trigger the ONE VP. It's also impossible to have more than one wound cause the same casualty at the same time since they're resolved one-at-a-time so if one wound killed the Warlord, the other wounds are forcibly allocated to other models in the unit or fizzle if the unit is gone. Wound-that-caused-death to dead-Warlord ratio is forcibly 1:1, so you can only ever get 1 VP from any single dead Warlord from the rule.

[DarkLink]

Right. Reading comprehension:


"Operation Assassinate: If the mission you are playing uses Victory Points, you receive one bonus Victory Point at the end of the game if the enemy’s Warlord was removed as a casualty as a result of a Wound inflicted by a model with this special rule."

Is not the same thing as:


Operation Assassinate: If the mission you are playing uses Victory Points, you receive
one bonus Victory Point for each model with Operation Assassinate at the end of the game if the enemy’s Warlord was removed as a casualty as a result of a Wound inflicted by a model with this special rule.
