Basically, here is where the confusion is. If you used Guide or had any twin-linked template, you would get rerolls to wound since your auto hitting. Now, when you're in a Planetstrike game and you're using Bastions, it says that templates do D6 hits to the occupants inside. Now, how would that work with a twin-linked template? Would you get to reroll the D6, but not the wounds. Not the D6 but the wounds? Or both? Thanks, I couldn't find anything about it.

Just the wounds.

This. Twin-linked template weapons only re-roll to wound.

twin linked flamers you reroll to wound

blasts i believe you reroll the scatter if you want

TL templates let you reroll wound and armor penetration.

TL blasts let you "reroll the dice to hit" if you miss.

I don't see the issue here.

I believe you are way over-thinking this. Both rules can easily be followed without any conflicts.

One rule states you hit d6 models, the other allows you to reroll the failed to-wound rolls.....easy peasy.

Since you only re-roll to wound with a twin linked template, you can't re-roll the attempt at d6 hits.

Additionally, Guide does not make weapons twin-linked. It just let's you re-roll to hits.

For clarity, you do not roll "to hit" with a Blast weapon. It just scatters 2D6 - your BS. If by "reroll the dice to hit" you mean you can re-roll the scatter die (plus the 2D6), then you are correct.

I just quoted the book because of stupid wording.

And it lets you re-roll the scatter for blast weapons.

But, yes, it doesn't actually make the weapons twin-linked.

Which is not a problem. However, Guide does absolutely nothing for template weapons.
