Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 Question about Malus and his sword. It says when he makes an attack roll of 1 he strikes a freindly model in contact. Now is that before or after his reroll? Figured since the Gods are dead and the end is here the Dark Elves desrve some vengence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClassicFlava Posted January 11, 2015 Report Share Posted January 11, 2015 If you roll a 1 its a succesfull hit so you don't get to reroll it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kremmet Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Actually, by pure RAW, you do both. The one is not hitting per say, but instead causing a separate effect which is an automatic hit on a friendly. Basically, if you rolled a one, you'd hit somebody else and then reroll due to ASF which may cause another one and another hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Well after tonights game I remembered why I don't run Cold Ones. 360 points soul blighted off the board, almost. And that is before Malus' 295 points. God I forgot how expensive those guys are. I think executioners with CO chariots might be a better route.

MexicanNinja Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Actually, by pure RAW, you do both. The one is not hitting per say, but instead causing a separate effect which is an automatic hit on a friendly. Basically, if you rolled a one, you'd hit somebody else and then reroll due to ASF which may cause another one and another hit. This is a rather confusing rule. Technically, you get to re-roll failed attacks against opponents who don't have ASF. However, the specific rule states that if you roll a 1 you cause an automatic hit and if you fail to wound it must be re-rolled. If you fail to wound, are you re-rolling the to-hit roll or the wound roll? It's not very clear in the rule itself. On the other hand, if you roll a 1 you cause an automatic hit against a friendly model (your choice). Due to all Dark Elves having ASF, and the hit is an automatic hit on a friendly model, you wouldn't get to re-roll your to-hit roll. Now, again, with the wording saying that you must re-roll if you fail to wound which roll are you re-rolling the to-hit roll or the wound roll? Most of us can gather that this is referring to the wound roll, but again, the rule is not specific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
