Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always believed that the so-called Tara-bomb was supposed to work like this:
1. Activate Tara first getting Eternal Moment
2. Give something nasty Fast while Burying it using Obliteration Symbiote
3. Do stuff with your other models
4. Gain reactivate once all your models have activated
5. Run Tara towards the enemy, unbury the big nasty and do bad things with it
The problem is that step number four.
Eternal Moment says:
"Eternal: Once all other friendly models have Activated, this
model gains the Reactivate Condition."
It doesn't say "friendly models in play". The Buried model hasn't been activated and thus denies the Reactivate. This also means that a buried Killjoy or buried Bete messes up Eternal Moment.
Please tell me I have missed something here.
You can, of course, forfeit the Reactivate from first turn and just throw the nasty at the enemy at the start of turn two, but that's not a "bomb". Then your big nasty is in the midst of enemies and has been activated. It will die. The bomb part, to me, always was that you can activate almost twice in a row since you activate at the end of the first turn and then near the beginning of the second turn.
I have seen this tactic executed in several playtest battle reports. Those have been lost when the forum beta sections were taken away, but I find it hard to believe that no one else has caught this. So is there somethingthat I'm missing? (Please tell me that there is something as this kinda kills Tara for me)
