Johnnyb79 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Just a quickie that keeps popping up when i play my nids. Toxin sacs gives you poison 4+ my broodlord charges (strength 6 on the charge due to adrenal glands (furious)) what does he wound a standard marine on? 1) a 2+, rerolling 1's due to the poison rerolling special rule 2) a 4+, rerolling all failed wounds due to poison (but in effect negating the fact he's strength 6) thanks in advance Johnnyb79 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251378-poisoned-attacks/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Option 2, poisoned 4+ means you always wound on a 4+, regardless of strength or toughness. If your strength is equal to or higher than their toughness you get re-rolls though. Page 42 in the BRB is quite clear about the matter.

Elric the Silvercoat Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Also remember that you have a 75% chance to wound at all times with the Poison attack (with rerolls) and without you have a 83.3% chance to wound only on the charge.

Hlakir Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 It's also worth to mention that in the case with poisoned attacks you must use the re- rolls if you get them. It's not an option as with most other re- rolls. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/251378-poisoned-attacks/#findComment-3052262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
