First does the -1 to initiative from thunder hammers stack? and second how does BS 6 and twin-link work?

[Spacefrisian]

Its not -1 Iniative, Its you strike at Iniative 1 with a Thunderhammer.

 

Bs6 allows you to re-roll hitting on a 6. Twinlinked allows you to re-roll hitting on a 2+.

 

Hope that helps.

[theonelawler]

sorry got the Thunderhammer wrong. but with bs6 and twin-linked do you roll to hit +2 twin linked+2 then one or two +6 to hit or to hit +2 to hit +6 and then twin linked +2 and to hit +6?

[Rider-75]

you can only ever reroll a dice once.

 

ie: use the 2+ reroll from the twinlink, rather than the 6 from the BS.

[theonelawler]

ok thank you for the help.

[Schertenleib]

So if you roll to hit and get a one you don't get to re-roll twin-linked weapons?

[DV8]

So if you roll to hit and get a one you don't get to re-roll twin-linked weapons?

 

No, you pick either or. Having BS6+ grants a re-roll, but with negative modifiers. So with BS6, if you roll a 1, you can reroll the To-Hit roll, but this time needing a 6 instead of 2+.

 

Having Twin-Linked means you re-roll your to-hit roll, but you can never re-roll a dice more than once.

 

So in this instance you have a choice of either hitting on 2+, rerolling on 2, or hitting on 2+, and then rerolling on a 6 if you miss. Obviously you take twin-linking 2+, and not 2+/6+.

[Ullr Direfang]

if a weapon allows a re-roll(twinlinked) then you get no bonus for having a BS of higher then 5.

take a look at page 18 of your rule book, top left corner. That explains how BS 6-10 works.
