OK so maybe this will be a clue on whats going one with this one. I run Nemesor as HQ. at the start of my turn i give basic warriors " Tank Hunter " special rule. they all shoot at a " Land raider or what ever tank " 24 inch away.. say my unit is 10 man squad size.. so i roll 10 dice.. hitting on 3+ say i score 7 hits.. take those 7 dice and roll for glancing.. say i roll 1 "6" = glancing hit.. do i pick up the remainder 6 dice and roll for more glancing " 6's " or do i have to pick up all 7 dice including my glancing 6 and reroll since none of them technicaly " Penetrated " the armor of the tank? tank hunter special rule is on page 43 of big rule book.. any ways just intrested in what every one would say about this.. i have not tried this. i was just reading and this poped in my head... thoughts?

Thanks!

You reroll the failed rolls and you can choose to reroll glances but don't have to. Even though they don't have a chance to cause a penetrating hit, that does not mean they are not rolling for armor penetration.

Right but i guess my real question is.. in the case listed above.. would i reroll all 7 hits, inclueding the 1 glance or do i just reroll the 6 hits that didn't glance.. reading the rules.. since the 6 did not penetrate it i would have to reroll that one as well. ?

"and can choose to re-roll glancing hits,"
Did you get a Glancing hit?

ok so reading the rules again.. it states that i can shoose to re-roll glancing hits.. but i don't have to so that means i can keep the 1 6 that i rolled and can just reroll the 6 hits that didn't do anything?

thanks rigeld2,, yeah i get that now.. thats pretty cool thanks for the input

I wouldn't re-roll any of the glances...against a LR you only need 5 IIRC glancing shots anyways and with 'Crons thats 5x 6s and you have eliminated that vehicle if IIRC the rule correctly...

4 glancing hits. But who's counting?

That's what I said...LoL

lol.. yeah im alittle slow when it comes to picking up things Kevin949 lol

To clear up the confusion - since it looks like you've muddled up your reroll methodology. You only have to reroll all dice from a set, if they were originally rolled as such - for instance, the 2D6 from a melta shot. There are exceptions to this that are always noted, for example a difficult terrain reroll will usually specify that it allows you to choose which dice you wish to reroll. In these cases you have to pick which dice of the set you wish to reroll before doing so - you can't reroll one then decide to roll the second too.

In this case, each hit is treated as a separate D6 roll so you can choose whether or not to reroll each one individually.

Oh very nicely explained Super Ready... thanks again to every one with the input
