I've decided to try to give a brood of Warriors a go now that 5th Ed. rules are available. What intrigued me the most were the new Multiple Blast rules. I really like the idea of having six S6 blasts clustered up.. or.. if enough hits were scored, walking the blasts in on your target. For twin linked blast weapons, it allows you to reroll both the Scatter Dice and the 2D6. After reading that, a few questions came to mind.

What happens to the secondary TL-Blasts after your initial blast template is placed?

Would it allow you to reroll the arrow if you so choose (since no 2D6)?

Since nothing is specifically stated in the rulebook, would the twin linked have no effect on the subsequent scattering blasts?

Also, since you're allowed to mix weapons within a brood of warriors.. how would it work if you had 1 warrior with TL-Deathspitters and the rest with single Deathspitters? Would they be fired seperately due to different profiles/effects?

Thanks,

Sraosa

The scatter-off-the-1st-marker is for Barrage only; as a direct-fire gun, the Deathspitter uses the normal place-resolve-repeat for Blast markers.

As for the single-TL-and-rest-normal, you'd have to roll it separetly, since he is armed differently, just like a Space Marine with a plasma gun has a separate roll (or different colored dice) from his bolter-armed brothers.

Just confirmed what you stated.

It even uses an example of a SM Dev w/ 4 Frag Missles.

Thanks.

And the rulebook does state what happens if you have a 'reroll' with a blast weapon.

You reroll all three dice (the scatter die and the 2D6).
