Having attatched Yarrick and a Ministorum Priest to my command squad in a recent 40k game it became apparent that both characters allowed re-rolls in close combat! I put it to my obliging adversary that it was unlikely that you could re-roll for Yarricks rule and subsequently re-roll any failures at this stage with the priest, essentially giving you two chance to re-roll in cc. Fortunately for me he said give it a go and the rest is history but can somebody confirm that the re-rolling to hit or wound can't be multiplied in this fashion?

If you had three or four guys with the ability to offer re-rolls you'd likely hit or wound with every attack!

I'm pretty certain you you can't ever re-roll a re-roll.

The rule you are looking for is like...at the beginning of the rule book.

Page 1-5?

Basically, no re-rolling re-rolls. Big Basic Rule.

Can only ever reroll one time as per the BRB

You can never re-roll a re-roll. That extra ability is redundant in this circumstance.

Main Rulebook pg. 2 in the callout box.

No single D6 can be re-rolled more than once, regardless of the source (or sources) of the re-roll. It's not that the rules can't stack, it's that the rules disallow you from the act of picking up the dice for re-rolls more than once.

-Dis.

The only time a "re-rolled" dice is "re-rolled" is a tied Roll Off, but since the dice are never "Re-Rolled", but rather "rolled again", it is not an issue!

Okay, cheers guys! I figured as much but wanted to check! I skipped the first couple of pages of the rule book in order to get straight into the shooting rules, ha!

Thanks again!
