so the "ashes and dust" has a talent called
"desolate core" (when this model is killed, place a ashen core in base contact, and one dust storm in base contact with a friendly or neutral table edge. "this model" produces no counters of any kind.)
and Laz can assimilate any friendly constructs talents. but the "ashes and dust" is unique. and copying this ability doesn't actually make a "ashes and dust", but makes the other two models that are also unique. could laz assimilate the talent, and if none of this works where does it break down? and if he assimilates it and dies what is the effect?
