Three very related questions:

1) Let's say I have Pha's protection on two mages and I cast it on the same unit twice. I know that my opponent will be at -2 to hit them, but how do things like warmachines work when shooting at that unit? Does it have to pass a 4+ roll twice in order to fire?

2) Similarly, let's say I have Pha's protection up on a unit and then cast Ice Shard Blizzard (with another mage) on a warmachine. If that warmachine tries to shoot at the protected unit does it have to pass a 4+ roll twice?

3) If I have all three up does it have to pass at 4+ roll three times before it can fire?

yes, they recieve a -2 to hit them as the BRB is clear that all modifiers stack.


I don't know about the 4+ though.

i would say that doesn't stack.

The modifiers stack, however the 4+ to fire at all doesnt - one roll of 4+ satisfies 1+ rules saying "roll a 4+ to fire"

Almost compleetly true if not for one caveat:
Iceshard affects the machine when it fires while pha's works as soon as the template touches the unit, so in this one case he would need to 4+ it twice at different times.
Multiples of the same spell however don't cause multiple rolls. Also shooting that causes autohits (organ gun) rather than a template, allways rolls only once.
