Thread title means a couple of questions in Irish.
Teacher always said there are no dumb ones so here we go:

When rolling melta weapons (at short range) vs eldar holo fields is it 2d6 and pick the lowest and then add a further d6?

If a vehicle gets immobilsied on difficult terrain:
do passengers get to disembark 2 inchs and then take a difficult terrain test roll
or is it simply a difficult terrain test roll

If a Farseer has RoW and rolls 3 die getting a 6,6,2, is he subjest to perils of the warp or does he simply discard the first 6?

If a dreadnought pops a transport with its ranged weapons can he then assault the squad who were inside in the same turn?

Thanks!

1) Holo-Fields dont effect your armour penetration roll. Instead of rolling as normal on the vehicle damage chart you roll 2 dice for each glance/pen and use the lowest result.

2) You can disembark 2" then if you are going to move any further you must roll for difficult terrain..

3) If you mean RoWitnessing (RoW could mean Warding too ) you discard the highest result, so if you rolled 6,6,2 you would lose one of 6's. So you pass the psychic test with a roll of 8 and no PotW

Yes. If a dread pops a transport with a shot then he can assault the former occupants in the assault phase - just like any infantry/MC unit. It's the one major exception to the "you may only charge what you shot at" rule.

Speedy and efficent responses, thanks guys.

Doh! over the holofield one

It's all ceart go leor anois

No worries, quite a few people mix up "to penetrate" and "damage" rolls.

If you want to get some rules pages, ahve a look at the vehicle damage results for wrecked / exploded. This is where it makes the exception to the assault what you shot rule.

Note it is ONLY the unit that wrecked the vehicle that gets to make this swap of assault target - if you shoot with a unit beforehand that fails to wreck it, you cannot assault the once passengers with that unit.

Thought I bump this rather then begin a new thread.

Does the Swarmlord ignore normal armor saves (since hes a MC) and also force invulnerable save rerolls with his blades?
Ie you dont potentially get any saves against him?

Do units get a save vs the Mawlocs deepstrike template attack? Its not a shooting or hth attack but Im inclined to say they do?

1) for the Swarmlord, he makes models that pass their invulnerables reroll them, increasing the chances of failure by only rerolling successful ones.

2)They only get invulnerable or cover saves. Cover saves are granted as per the tyranid FAQ

Lone Dragoon has these correct.

As a side note; go ahead and start a new thread when you get new questions, that way the thread title can be tailored for the individual question(s) and make for easier searching via the Search field.

For example: In this case you should have started a new thread titled something like "Tyranid questions RE: Swarmlord and Mawloc"

Happy gaming!

Agree with Kel.

If you actually start a thread with a descriptive title, people can spot it if they are familiar with the subject, and can find it if they run a Search later when they have the same or a related question.

Noted, thanks peeps!
