With twin linked blast weapons, the brb states that you re roll the dice. Does this mean you re roll the scatter die, or all 3 dice?

p30 of BGB under Blast weapons and re-rolls:
"If a model has the ability to re-roll its rolls to hit and chooses to do so after firing a blast weapon, the player must re-roll both the scatter dice and the 2D6."
(Keep in mind, in Britain, "dice" is the singular)

Small nitpick:
Both 'Die' and 'Dice' are regularly used and both are accepted, even though strictly 'Die' is the correct form.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

If you choose to re-roll, it's all 3 dice, the Scatter and the two D6s.

I don't write the rules. My ego just lives and dies by them one model at a time. |

Only in American English, is die the singular of dice. In British, dice is both singular and plural, as Grakmar said.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Yeah, that's not actually true.
In both common and US English, 'die' is the 'correct' singular. Common usage worldwide has slowly swayed towards 'dice' instead, with 'die' becoming much less commonly used.
GW don't use 'dice' because they're a British company. They use it because it's less confusing due to the common use thing.
