Frater Cornelius Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Those little beauties shelled out by the RWK. The wording has me confused. Does the effect affect only the models hit by the Blast or every model in unit. It says 'Every model in a unit hit by [...]'. The way I read it, it could go both ways. Even more confusing is that the wording of the Stasis Bomb is 'Any unit hit by [...]'. In that case it is clear as it gets. So, what is the general consensus on this issue?

Lord Sesslec Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 As I understand it, it's models in that unit are reduced in toughness. So if only 1 Model in a squad of 10 is hit, ALL 10 are reduced in toughness by 1. Same goes for the stasis grenades too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 That is the way I would read it, if not for the different wording on Stasis Bomb of the Dark Talon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epimetheus13 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Agree w Lord Sesslec. Very poor wording on these rules...hope that gets fixed in May/June. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 I might check out the wording in other languages. Agree w Lord Sesslec.Very poor wording on these rules...hope that gets fixed in May/June. ;-) Don't be too hasty. The 'change' might be the removal. Look at the other marine books. They remove anything remotely interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Affect the whole unit. You need only to hit one member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Alright, that is the way then until further notice. Thanks everyone ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SvenONE Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah I see now they worded the stasis bomb differently but the results are all the same. Every model in the unit gets treated that way. Edit: it's also worth noting that the effects are immediate. As soon as the unit is hit it reduces the toughness before the roll to wound, so against MEQs you're still wounding on 4s.

Larhendiel Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Also, keep in mind that you need hit, not wounding for those grenades effect to take place, however since jinking requires us to fire snap shots I do not take grenade launchers anymore, those plasma shots are too dear for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Cornelius Posted December 31, 2014 Author Share Posted December 31, 2014 Yeah, I guess that is a case of the PFG on a Libby or make heavy use of cover given the Skilled Rider in conjunction with Dark Shroud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
