Reva and Mindless Zombies

[WildBorr]

Can Reva use her Strength of the Fallen ability to take actions through Mindless Zombies? Mindless Zombies state they can be used as a Corpse Marker for actions from friendly models, but Strength of the Fallen is an ability, not an action. However, the ability is what allows her to use actions through corpse markers. I can see both sides of the argument, and feel it's a little ambiguous in this scenario.

Yes, look at the wording on the corpse candles and it reads the same way as the mindless zombies. The candles were clearly designed to attack through as well.

... may count this model as a Corpse Marker while performing Actions ...

is (one of) the rules as written manners of saying that the model can be used as a Corpse Marker.

Keep in mind that the entire three step process for resolving an Action in the rulebook is "resolving an Action".

After thinking it through I agree. The ability does not affect corpse markers. Ability allows actions to use corpse markers.

RAW it does work.

I have removed a comment from this thread (which was reported to the mod team) as it was highly ill advised.

I have also removed another comment which quoted it and pointed out to the poster how ill advised said comment was.

I`d say RAI it should work. RAW leans towards "doesnt".
