[BTB] Restless Dead Corpse Bomb question

Was reading the Restless Dead warband earlier and noticed something in the Corpse Bomb skill that I'd like clarified.

When exactly does the ability trigger?

1. As soon as a charge is declared before moving models
2. When the charger makes contact
3. Something else

Currently it looks to me like it happens as soon as the charge is declared (the use of "immediately" in the sentence). I'm not sure if that was the intention so thought I'd ask.

In addition it says that,

Quote :

Only one Zombie at a time can be a corpse bomb although the skill can be taken by both the Necromancer and the Liche.

Does that mean that if both heroes have the skill there can be two corpse bomb zombies in play? Or that it just provides a level of redundancy should one of them be missing the game? My instincts suggest option 2.

Hmm.. you are quite right I guess. We have always played it like 2, i.e. after completing movement but before going on. Any other way wouldn't make much sense.

As for taking the skill twice: We have played it so that two zombie corpses may be used.

Aha! So I can have two explodey zombies huh (assuming both heroes take the skill)? Funfunfun!

I'll need to make my necromancer look like one from Diablo 2...

Thanks for the answers.

That's the way I see it. I didn't write the rules so I can't provide a definite "yes", but that's how we've always played it (came up only one time though so far). I don't see anything wrong with having two bombs. They're fun.
