Question how does preferred enemy work against vehicles? - Cookie101 - 18-08-2014 as the titles says I was looking up preferred enemy and cant see how it works against tanks and stuff as the wording of the rule is: "a unit with at least one model with this rule re-rolls failed hit and wound rolls of 1 if attacking its preferred enemy, applies to both shooting and close combat." so does this work or not work against stuff with a armour value, as it does not mention it within the rule. the rule is on page 169 in the big rulebook for those who want to look at it. I await your feed back. cookie RE: Question how does preferred enemy work against vehicles? - aprilmanha - 19-08-2014 I personally think that you can't prefer tanks. RE: Question how does preferred enemy work against vehicles? - manrogue - 19-08-2014 Question you need to ask- Is an Armor Penetration roll a roll To Hit or To Wound? Answer - No RAW is that you can re-roll the hits, but can't re-roll the armour pens. Wounds are different to armour pens rolls, so wouldn't get to re-roll the 1's.

Knight Commander Pask's 'Old Grudges' warlord trait that he comes with confers preferred enemy to his squadron I believe. I haven't got my AM codex to hand but I'm sure it's something very close to this. So RAW, does that mean that his tanks can only re-roll 1's if he's shooting at non-armoured targets only? RE: Question how does preferred enemy work against vehicles? - manrogue - 19-08-2014 He can re-roll the 1's to hit against both, but can only re-roll the 1's to wound against models with wounds. So against Armour, he re-rolls 1's to hit and thats it. And against models with wounds, he re-rolls 1's to hit and re-rolls 1's to wound. To re-roll armour pens, he needs the tank hunter USR or something that specifies you can re-roll armour penetration rolls. Hopefully that clears it up? |
