Multiple Blast templates

[HERO]

So how do multiple Blast units work in 5th? Say you're shooting a squad of Termies with 4x PC Devs. Do you scatter each individually? What happens to the Termies that got hit multiple times? Do they suffer multiple wounds, or would it allocate into whichever unit he wants?

 

Thanks.

each gets scattered individually.

 

Count up the number of hits, roll to wound, allocate as normal. So, with good scatter rolls, each terminator could end up with several wounds.

 

Remember, those under the template do not have to be the ones taking the saves. So the woulds get allocated through the whole squad.

As I understand it, you simply resolve scatter and wounds from one blast, then the next and so on. When you have resolved all of them, you total up the wounds caused and roll saves (where possible, of course).

 

Wounds are allocated as normal for any units effected, so casualties do not have to come from under the template (and in some cases you may be forced to take them from elsewhere). This does mean a single model being hit repeatedly could potentially wipe out the unit unfortunately.

You resolve scatter for each template and count hits (note that you also roll hits for any other weapons being fired by the squad at this point) THEN you roll for wounds for all hits THEN allocate saves within the whole squad. Not one weapon at a time

P. 30 of the BRB deals with this quite clearly. it has it's own paragraph, even.

I've never seen more people say the same thing, but in different ways. It's kinda amazing.
