Akela Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So, I'm not real on this, thought I'd get some advice: Wolf Priests have the Preferred Enemy USR, allowing them and any unit they join to re-roll failed To Hit and To Wound rolls of 1 in shooting and close combat. My question: Would this allow them to reroll the Gets Hot! dice for a plasma cannon if the Wolf Priest were in a long fangs pack? For Gets Hot! on weapons that don't roll to hit (like Blast weapons), you roll a d6 for each shot. On a 2+, it goes off normally. On a 1, the model suffers a wound subject to armour saves and the shot isn't fired. HOWEVER, it says in the next section that if a model has the ability to reroll its rolls To Hit, 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. I'm a bit sleep deprived, and I want to make sure I'm not misinterpreting: does this mean that Long Fangs w/ Plasma Cannons joined by a Wolf Priest could reroll any rolls of 1 on the Gets Hot? If so, Logan Grimnar, 5 Plasma Cannon-armed Long Fangs, and a Wolf Priest will be Drop Podding in to my next game.

Yeah, you can reroll the Gets Hot thanks to Preferred Enemy.

Yosef Hausakluif Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Why add Logan Grimnar to the squad if the WP goives you the re-roll, or am I missing a critical piece of the rules?

Akela Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 You're not missing anything, I just really like using Logan. My wife gave me Grimnar for my birthday a couple years ago, she had painted it so well that I would argue it looks better than those by 'eavy Metal. Anyway, by sheer coincidence, I proposed to her a couple weeks later ; ) Logan tends to pod in w/ Long Fangs with my lists, though I suppose they could start in the back field. I like the flexibility it offers, plus the ability to keep my warlord off the table first player turn if I don't go first. I started using Multi-meltas, later I switched to the cheaper Heavy Bolters which have been quite effective. Plasma Cannons with a very small chance of overheat death will be fun to try.

Relentless ... it's the only way to shoot a Blast weapon on the turn the models disembark from a Drop Pod.

Ghostwolfalpha Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 So for further clarification, prescience would allow the reroll of the gets hot roll as well, right?

Wulfebane Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Just wanted to express a slight caution. It's not Preferred Enemy, it's Oath of War.

Prescience only allows you to reroll the fails (but yes, 1's included XD) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/274945-wolf-priest-long-fangs-w-plasma-cannonsgets-hot-reroll/#findComment-3364428 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalx the grey Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 What about the dispersion roll? I'm pretty sure you can reroll that too with prescience (with the risk of overheating the second time), but it would be too much to ask for in the case of Preferred Enemy I guess...

Deathscream Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Logan's ability to grant the pack relentless is amazingly good when coupled with a WP. It's an insanly expensive pack and kind of a 'all or nothing' idea, but one I have used with mixed results leaning more towards the good side. I use 3 HB and 2 PC in my pack though. The two weapon types have the same range, so shooting at different targets or the same dosent nerf one or the other weapon types. I have also found that Logan is a great baby sitter for a LF pack, OR a huge lightning rod. Either way it's a fun, tough as nails unit that is sure to scare the pants off of your opponent!!

Akela Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Will do, I need to take some better pictures to do it justice, though. Further info on my Logan Grimnar mini: we used both it and the Lelith Hesperax she painted for her army as our wedding cake toppers. I am so lucky.

WG Vrox Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 I am so lucky. Indeed, I also am a lucky man in this respect. I see some of my gaming friends get involved with women that have no gaming interest at all and I wonder why why why... well I know why but long term why why why...
