never forgive never forget

[SnakeChisler]

The stratagem Never Forgive Never Forget gives us exploding 6's against Heretic Astrates if you +1 the hit roll your going to get exploding 5's

 

Against Chaos marines its going to give you a real boost

[G8Keeper]

Is it worded as "unmodified 6" or just when you "roll a 6"?

[SnakeChisler]

6+

[Phaeton]

So, terminators will make additional attacks on 5+ with it and "Fury of the first". Nice

[Berzul]

Knights with a Chaplain could get exploding 4+s against Chaos Marines.

 

Gotta say, that looks really good, although CP expensive. I wonder if it would not be just cheaper to make them fight twice through honor the chapter.

 

Them again, if honor tje chapter is used, would you get exploding dice on BOTH attacks?

One thing I've wondered with this and the one that gets you an extra attack against a unit of 10+ is if you multi assault and 1 unit meets the criteria does the bonus apply to the unit or models?

[Neuralshock]

The chappy buff only applies to the shooting phase, so the only way to get a 5+ exploding hits with the strat is with FotF. Although with exhortation of rage and the exploding 6+, your 6's will double explode! As far as the strat is concerned, you could multicharge a 10 man chaff squad and then use the extra attack to pop the elite unit standing behind it.

I've read it several times and I am pretty confident just one model in the unit has to target the 10+ model enemy unit for the Deathwing unit to get +1A. So yes, 10 termies multicharging, one swinging at a unit of cultists, the rest going for the posessed bomb with +1A (or whatever scenario you prefer) :)

I thought that too your best tactical option is for the knight master to do the chaff clearing given the carry over damage
