Remus_Acchilon Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm a Minotaurs player and often put Asterion Moloc's chapter tactics rule (Preferred enemy:space marines) to good use. This works great with vengeance rounds and plasma guns but when I use plasma cannons the rule gets weird since the rule states that I can re-roll ones to hit. Rules for blast say that if i can re-roll my rolls to hit I can re-roll my roll to scatter but it doesn't say anything about re-rolling specific dice. So how am I supposed to use the rule? Can I re-roll all scattering, no scattering or something in between? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 I'm guessing you can't re-roll. If you can only re-roll 1's and if you roll 2d6 you will always get a result of at least 2 and so can't re-roll it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calnus Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Technically speaking, it *might* allow you to re-roll the 1s you might see as part of your scatter dice. Which would be counter-productive to hitting your target. But I'm thinking just so you don't hamstring yourself, only re-roll at the wound phase and just conclude that the preferred enemy bonus doesn't affect blasts.

Axagoras Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 wouldnt it let you reroll the 1 to over heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellios Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 wouldnt it let you reroll the 1 to over heat? That isn't a roll to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Gets Hot and Re-rolls (page 37) If a model has the ability to re-roll its rolls To Hit (including because of BS 6+, or Twin-linked), a Wound is only suffered if the To Hit re-roll is also a 1; it may also re-roll Gets Hot results of 1 for weapons that do not roll To Hit.

Oh it is my friend for now... but I now have 2nd-6th edition in my head (I can still quote some page and paragraph numbers for 2nd ed) and I can no longer remember what is what and when 7th comes out I'll just have more out dated rubbish in my head.

Remus_Acchilon Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 Thank you everybody. This has been of great help. And to sum it up I can re-roll the gets hot! Dice and ones to wound but nothing for hitting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkApostle Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Yes. Because you don't actually roll to hit with blast and template weapons. :D TDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
