The Ork mob rule states that the leadership is replaced by the number in the mob. Ten Boyz all have leadership 10. I think we all agree on this one.

The Boss pole allows a reroll but you have to wound a model to get the reroll.

Lets say the 10 boys fail a leadership test. Using the boss pole one of the boys is removed leaving 9 boys. Is the new test taken at 9 or 10?

It would be 10. You aren't taking a new test you are rerolling the old one.

Brock is correct. It's a reroll, not a whole new Ld check.

You calculate your Ld value when you take a morale check. Not during, or after, but immediately at the beginning, and only once.

Despite now numbering nine Orks, they'd reroll the morale check still at Ld 10.

Yup, they test at 10, otherwise you wouldnt be "rerolling" the test, and could therefore happily bosspole over and over hopefully making that ld test eventually lol.

Or kill all your Boyz.

But that's not bad either seeing as they probably can't regroup at that point anyway.

you can only use the bosspoles reroll once. As the rules state in the BRB you can only reroll something once. Something that seems to be overlooked by a lot of players playing orks.

Nobody ever said anything contrary to this.

those post sounded like you guys were.

Well done ignoring this line in your quote:

"Wouldn't be 'rerolling' the test" sounds suspiciously like we were talking about how you wouldn't be rerolling the test.

Exactly, you need to take a closer look at what was said, and read it a few more times.

I never said once that you can reroll the test. You can never reroll a reroll, i was giving him a situation showing how it can be easily broken if that rule werent in place.

And saint, as for it killing all your boyz if you could do this, i was speaking of a situation where a morale test to trigger a sweeping advance, so theyre most likely dead anyways, at least this way you would have 9 chances roll snakeeyes.

Too bad it doesnt

Nothing. With 20 boyz they're fearless.

it mainly has to do with adepticon's team tournament, specifically the result of mixing the doom of malantide with a pbs and targeting a boyz mob
