Hi, I was playing Space Hulk today and wanted clarification on a couple of rules if possible please.

The Heavy Flamer.
1. If you flame a stealer on the space directly in front of you does the termie have to roll to score a 1 to survive as well as the stealer?
2. The max range of the flamer is 12 squares. If the corridor is empty and you use the flamer can you determine where you place the flame tile or must you place it at the max range of the 12th square?

The sarges' sword.
1. When the sarge is defending in close assault the power sword enables him to make the stealer player roll his highest dice again. Today my opponent rolled a 3 and two 6s. Does he roll both 6s again or just one 6 which leaves the other 6 to stand?

Thanks in advance.

The Heavy Flamer:
Anywhere inside that 12 square range (unless there is a stealer blocking LOS).

The Sarge's sword:

Reroll ONE of those 6s. Not both, not ALL of the dice.

GW should really learn that Dice is a plural and that the singular is DIE (after all, Jervis must hear that one a lot.)

And if the "space in front" of the marine is on the same corridor section then you must roll a 1 to survive - flamers hit sections and destroy *any* model on a 2+. Always a good idea to keep your flamer guy on the very last square of the section he's in!

I think it was ruled on that a space marine player couldn't harm his own troops for any reason.

So you can't use the flamethrower on a location with marines in it.

i seem to remember reading something like this as well but i cant find it for the life of me....

Sorry incorrect gentlemen.

From the Space Hulk Q and A on the GW site:

Q. Can the heavy flamer target a section that contains a
Space Marine?
A. As long as the target square is empty or contains a
Genestealer, yes.
Q.

thanks.
