The eldar codex states that you can link two fire prisms together to fire a more powerful shot than becomes twin-linked. The fire prism shot is a blast though, so one rolls the scatter dice. If the shot is twin-linked it means one can re-roll a miss but the fire prism is a blast...so what does this mean? Re-roll the scatter dice if one chooses? Thanks.

Check out page 30 of the rulebook, in the "Blast weapons and re-rolls" section.

Oh, duh. Thank you Yak.

When re-rolling both the scatter dice though, which one does one use?
Also, the eldar codex states that guide allows one to re-roll "their scatter dice". I'm guessing that this means I re-roll not only the scatter dice (2 in fact according to 5th ed.) but the 2d6 as well, as stated in the 5th ed rule book? Thanks.

Reroll both the 2D6 and the Scatter die.

In regard to Guide, dice is plural so when it says to reroll their scatter dice you reroll, as stated above, the 2D6 as well as the Scatter die.

alright got it, thanks. Been away from WH for too long!

Actually Games Workshop never uses the term "die" in their rules ever. They always refer to even a single die as a "dice". Just FYI.

Gotcha, well that's always been the justification for the way I interpret it
