My buddy and I are in a game right now, so the question is a bit time sensitive. The rules for the Chronometron state "if the bearer is in a unit, this ability can be used to instead reroll one of the unit's d6 rolls per phase."

Here's the situation: A unit of Immortal Warriors fires tesla blasters at a unit of Hive Guard. He rolls very poorly on the "to-wound" rolls, and decides to use the Chronometron to give himself another chance to wound. Here's the question. He seems to believe the wording of the rule means he can choose to reroll ALL of the dice in the unit as opposed to a single d6. Which is it? All of the d6 "To-Wound" dice (as it's one unit's d6 rolls) or is it a single failed "to-wound"?

Only one dice. He cant reroll all of them.

One d6 roll. Since it's the shooting phase on your own turn, you may as well use it to re-roll one failed wound, but you don't get all of them.

ONE of the units D6 rolls is pretty clear.

My local TO says it can only apply to unit-based rolls, such as deep strike, ld tests, fall back moves, reserve rolls, and so on. I'm not sure what he'd say aobut this rather imprudent reasoning, but he may very well say yes given his other ruling.

All dice can be rerolled from a move through difficult terrain to a vehicle damage result.

Reserve dice however may not be rerolled as chronometron is not in game at the time.

All single d6 rolls. Because a Leadership test (for example) is a 2d6 roll, not a d6 roll (which is what the Chrono allows) and the rules require all dice in a test to be rerolled (page 2).

You could re-roll a single d6 from a group of wound rolls, but not all N of them.

Your local TO should read the BRB.

You cannot re-roll a deep strike scatter, as it requires 2D6. The Chronometron only allows you to re-roll a single D6. The BRB says that re-rolls must have all included D6s re-rolled, thus you cannot use the Chronometron on a deep strike scatter. Or a leadership test, for that matter.

I hope a FAQ proves me wrong, therefore making the Chronometron the greatest piece of wargear ever. But it won't.
