Question about necrons

[orkblasta]

so me (space marines) and a friend (necrons) were having a battle when we came across a problem with his refractor fields. He had upgraded his rather large scarab swarm with this and was running around immobilizing the (please do not swear) out of army.

The problem came when he charged a stationary rhino, due to the rhino being stationary he hits automatically. But he can only do damage if he rolls a 6 on the to hit chart. So do the scarabs become useless if he charges a stationary vehicle or do they still roll to hit and take the 6's?

thanks for the help.

it sounds like it. but i would say when he rolls for the armor penetration the roll of 6 is a glance because you roll to hit and then damage then 6 becomes a glance.

I'm pretty sure (95%) the Disruption field glances on a 6 on the armor penetration roll, not the roll to hit.

that said, if I'm wrong and it can glance on the roll to hit, then just make the rolls to hit - They would all hit anyway, but only 1 in 6 is going to get to something vital.

It's any armour penetration rolls of 6. So no problem there!

[orkblasta]

k, thanks guys, just wanted to clear that up.

I got a question about the Necrons, Too. I used mine the other day (I am still new at playing) and we were wondering when the "Roll a 6, unsaved wound" was only on the Wound chart, or whenever you are rolling for BS and Wounds.

Can you clarify that?^^

[hiveoccultisplaga]

i think hes refering to the fact that a gauss weapon can wound anything on the to wound roll of a 6

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you're asking when the "it always wounds on a roll of a 6" occurs

This is only on the wound roll, so you must roll to hit first, then roll to wound. any rolls to wound of a 6 will wound, regardless of the target's toughness (really, this only matters for a few targets - Wraithlords, for example)
