Hey guys... This question is about the upcoming dex:grey knights...

Do you think that the reduction to scatter given by multiple servoskulls stacks?

For example... I have 2 servoskulls in the same place... A Unit teleporting within 12 of both of them will not scatter at all? (2d6-1d6-1d6 = no scatter)

My personal answer is NO ( if not I can see the triple techmarine + inquisitor = 12 cheap servoskulls for 3 orbital strikes that do not scatter if they are within 12 of the servoskulls... the opponent will have to stay in his deployment zone or face merciless slaugher)....
Btw ... My answer is no but I'd like to hear some extra opinion...

For starters, your math is wrong 2d6 -minus 1d6- 1d6 does not equal zero. If you rolled a 12 on the 2d6 and ones on both the single d6, you would still scatter 10 inches. That is if the servos even stack, but thats a whole diff story.

Its not -1D6, it is roll one less D6. They mean two thing and those thing aren't even close. One means roll dice then minus the result, the other means you don't roll the dice.

I have seen no where in the rules where it could even be manipulated like that ...
It clearly portrays: That if you have a skull you roll 1 less D6 with something this simple It would easily say if you take 2 or more you do not scatter.
also with psy communion it does state that it stacks!

I won't even consider the first reply ....

Btw... So quietus you're saying that YES they stack???

I see the logic but we can read the rule in these two ways:
- If you DS within 12 of ANY servoskull you will roll 1d6 less (so the don't stack)
-If you DS within 12 of ONE SINGLE servoskull you will etc etc.. (so they stack)

I'm not english mothertongue so maybe I misunderstood: It seems to me that RAW you can interpret the sentence in either way... So I choosed the first coz the second seemed a little OTT to me...

No stack.

If you DS within 12" of A servoskull, you roll 1D6 less.

If you DS within 12" of 58,000 servoskulls, you have still DS within 12" of A servoskull, and so roll 1D6 less.

Exactly the same as Waagh banners, etc.

over powered much
