Aeson Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 In my most recent game I was playing my ultramarines against a force of chaos undivided and I shot many of his squads up quite severely. On two separate occasions I shot a squad of chaos marines down to one man. I scoured the Rule Book for some reference to last man standing checks or penalties for being the last man alive in a squad but I found nothing. So I guess the question is; are there any negative modifiers to moral checks taken when a unit takes more than 25% shooting damage?

Legatus Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Well, if the unit takes less than 25% shooting damage they don't have to test at all. :) But no, there is no more -1 for being below half strength, and no more "Last Man Standing".

SDarmy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ok i got one to add to this. the regroup rule says if the unit that is falling back is below 50% they cant regroup. Is that 50% below original strength or 50% below the strength of the unit just prior to the shooting phase losses? excluding Fearless, know no fear, etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158854-moral-checks-and-shooting/#findComment-1860989 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatus Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Full strength is how you bought the unit (or deployed it, in case of combat squads). If you have a squad of 10 in your army list, they can regroup as long as there are 5 members left alive.

nighthawks Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 ATSKNF removes the 50% restriction. not every army has that, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/158854-moral-checks-and-shooting/#findComment-1861455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTang Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 5th edition got rid of the last man standing rule and LD penalties for shooting casualties. There's some wargear and situations that still put penalties, although that's probably true for everything else in the rules, too. Not just shooting.
