Flame On (Acid Blood Query)

[Deleted]

Mastery Level dictates how many powers the model can use per turn and which Psyker powers the model has access to. In the Psychic Disciplines section under Numbers of Psychic Powers it reads, "A Psyker's codex will usually state how many psychic powers the Psyker has. Where this is not the case, the Psyker has a number of psychic powers equal to his Mastery Level". Which is why most Psykers have access to more psychic powers than their Mastery Level, they are allotted more powers by their codex

Nice find there. So you allocate 1 at a time, the first hit would had destroyed it so only 1 unsaved wound was caused to each pyrovore, resulting in only 2 tests all up.

Also there is nothing in the 6th Ed rules now about using unmodified characteristic tests. The 5th Ed brb specifically stated it, but this edition that isn't mentioned anymore. Not that I have seen anyway. So the only variable to the acid blood test is: do you take the characteristic test based on profile (with modifiers) or at the initiative step the model strikes at? This would effect units with crushing claws, power fists and lash whips, plus a few other weapons.

And with the guy using OOE, when I pointed out the fact that he would use just obliterated an entire squad of marines in a single strike, he was more than impressed!
I don't think I've seen the end of OOE!

No book to check.....

You still may get 'credit' for two wounds on each Pvore; you do for combat Res.

The Instant Death section is kind of unclear (hence my first post here), but when you combine it with the text in the Combat Res section on Pg. 26, it looks like it would count as four, since it says that "Wounds Suffered" includes those caused by Instant Death. Still not 100% clear, tho.

I haven't read anything in the rule book or an FAQ saying anything like this. If OOE gets 10 hits on a couple Pyrovores, you don't roll for each wound one at a time. You roll all at the same time as would normally do, because for all you know OOE will roll 10 1s and no one gets hurt. I haven't seen any rules saying that the moment an attack causing ID is allocated that all other attacks are discarded for all other purposes, and seeing as it has some big implications in some circumstances I'd imagine it being outlined if GW wished.

Fail. You roll "to wound" all at once, yeah. But after that you resolve them one by one. if you don't believe me, you can believe
pg. 15 of your rulebook. "Allocate unsaved wound to model... Continue allocating unsaved wounds until there are no more Wounds left or the whole unit has been removed as casualties."

Chill, Glassiya. You failed by failing to read the rest of the thread to see I changed my position and quoted what you just quoted on the previous post. Redundant and jerkish post all at once, good job!

Sorry if it looked like that. Busy day on job, you know.
