How do vox casters affect incopetent command? Vox Casters state that "if... both the officer's Command Squad and the chosen unit contain... a vox caster, the leadership test to see if the order has been understood can be re-rolled if failed." (IG Codex: Pg 71) Incopetent Command states "If a double 6 is rolled for the order, confusion reigns. Not only does this order not take effect, as described above, but no further orders can be issued (by any officer) in this Shooting phase." (IG Codex PG 29) I see 2 options for this:

A. Due to vox-caster, a second chance is given as per vox-caster rules.
B. Due to incompetent command, the order does not take effect and no further orders may be issued in this shooting phase regardless of wether or not the unit has vox-casters.

Just curious as once I actually did roll a double 6 when giving orders. I had a vox caster in both squads so my opponent let me reroll. I can see arguements for both sides, but I am leaning more towards A as it seems like incompetent command does not come into play until all attempts to issue the orderhave come into play. Am I correct in my thinking?

Thanks for your answers,

a) Until you have used your reroll the result does not happen. Exactly the same as rerollinh a "1" with a twin linked plasma can avoid gets hot!, as the first result is not final.

thats what I thought too, but I just wanted to make sure. Thanks for the example using Gets Hot! that makes much more sense looking at it like that.

Just remember if you roll 12 twice, you are screwed

Haha, true that Gwar!, but with a 1/36 chance of actually rolling that, I feel better about rolling with the Vox Caster, although I saw a buddy of mine roll double ones twice for two twin linked weapons... lol.. Hardly likely to happen, but it does.

I've done it!!

I watched a friend roll four 1's from five dice while making armour saves on terminators. I can only imagine the lone survive looking upon his fallen comrades with a look of confusion.

7 attack Khornate DP from previous edition: has axe of Khorne so every "6" to hit generated another attack.

I rolled 7 hits, 4 sixes - which all then hit. A total of 11 S7 (poss 8, cant remember...) attacks, woot! 10 man squad of assault terminators looking a little less happy now!

11 1's.

He died.
