Astronomical Insignificance and Strategies


Deathinabox

Question

Von Schtook's new card had astronomical Insignificance which reads "Until the Start Phase, the target cannot take the Interact action and is ignored for the opposing player's Strategies and Schemes." It's not clear how this plays out, especially with dinner if the strats. Corrupted Leylines seems the weirdest. Can a model hit with AS be placed? Can it have the loadstone moved off it? If it does, does it pay the loadstone? These are easy to answer when a model is simply insignificant but AS only applies to the opposing player's Strategies and Schemes. Could someone explain how this functions!

Ok so If I'm understanding correctly, A model hit with astronomical insignificance functionally gains Insignificant for all purposes until the Start Phase, with the exception that VS's crew still counts that model as existing while scoring their own strategies.

In practice for Corrupted Leylines,

Models hit with AS can be placed even while holding a lodestone

The Loadstone can be moved off by friendly models to other models, but if a model hit with AS is killed while holding the loadstone, the loadstone will disappear

If a model holding a loadstone is hit with AS and is touching a Leyline at the end of the turn, it will not claim the Leyline

Is that all correct?

I'm going to start off by saying I read the rules with a view point that if 1 way of reading it breaks the game, then that's the wrong way to read it. (so there should never be a way to remove the lodestone from the game short of killing the enemy entirely). 

If you are made "Astronomically insignificant"

The model can not be placed whilst holding the lode stone

Other friendly models can move the lodestone from the model. 

If you kill the holder the lode stone will move to the nearest friendly model

If the model is holding the lode stone it can't claim the leyline.

The model can't gain the lodestone.

 

So in effect, it doesn't count it as a model when you are looking for a friendly model to move the stone to, and it doesn't count as a model when you are looking to see if there is a friendly model with the stone in base contact with a leyline.
