augustmanifesto Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Hi All, a question on the "And they shall know no fear" special rule in 6th: I've seen some folks discussing how ATSKNF in 6th does not allow for automatic regroups when a unit is reduced to 25% strength. I have the 6th edition rulebook and can't find any evidence of this and, to me, it appears as if the special rule allows for automatic regrouping regardless of unit strength. Then again, this wouldn't be the first time I suck at the English language if I'm messing up my literacy here. Any thoughts? Thanks!

eyeslikethunder Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yup no regroups under 25 % Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257106-atsknf-6th-edition/#findComment-3128459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingo Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yup no regroups under 25 % Not true. A unit can regroup on a roll of double 1 (Insane Heroism) when below 25%. You still take the regroup test even when below 25%, and since ATSKNF allows this test to be automatically passed, Marines are fine. You were right, OP. It's all there in the book.

dswanick Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 A unit can regroup on a successful Leadership test if above 25%. A unit can regroup if the Leadership test results in an Insane Heroism result. In both cases the unit is being called to make a Leadership test. A unit subject to 'Know no Fear', automatically succeeds at their Regroup test. So, yeah, ATSKNF allows auto-regrouping.

SeattleDV8 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Also if an IC is part of the unit it can regroup with its normal Ld even if below 25%. Which is one of the huge changes in 6th.
