A couple rules questions


Ramora

Recommended Posts

ok its been awhile for one and for two I've never played with the new codex so here we go..

 

1. If multiple explosions are inflicted against a vehicle from the same squad (i.e. a dev squad or something) would you roll for all the explosions? Like if it were a transport would the men inside take multiple hits or just one.

 

2. Can you put a SM libby with a squad in a drop pod? If so must he be placed within 2" of the squad during the deployment of the drop pod?

 

Cheers,

1. Unless its opentopped you cannot hit the squad, the only damage they take is from an exploding vehicle, and the vehicle can only explode once, regardless of how many 6's you roll on the damage table, however as to rolling the damage dice together, you can if you wish, or you can do them seperately. Just be sure that wounds against troops are allocated correctly, wound allocation is different in 5th edition.

 

2. Yes, and yes. The libby can join the unit and be deployed with them via a droppod, when exiting the pod he must be in coherency and follow all disembarking rules.

BUT the unit shooting is doing so simultaneously - so models in that unit are all shooting at the same vehicle in the same state - roll all of your penetration and glance table results together after all of your hits are resolved, then apply the results. you wouldn't get multiple "explodes" results effects for multiple 6's, just one of each. only weapon destroyed and immobilized stack - eventually leading to destroyed.

 

OTHER units can shoot the disembarked unit, and the shooting squad MAY assault the disembarked unit IF the transport is destroyed or exploded.

 

see BRB P.67, bottom right "Note:" just above the dedicated transports box.

You can roll them together.... but when shooting my enemies land raider at point blank range with half a dozen meltaguns, I like to roll the hits seperately.... heh.. just call me sadistic....

 

Don't feel too bad. I ran 12 Repentia with a Priest across the board, 7 surviving with the Priest, and managed to hack up a Chaos Predator pretty effectively. Rolled each 2D6, 7 pens, One immobilized, Two weapon destroyed, 2 wrecked, 2 Annihilated. After the third result roll (the third was the annihilated), I almost got smacked for continuing for my own amusement.
