This is a 6th ed chaos space marine codex question about chaos spawns

The "Random Attacks" special rule how exactly does that work?

If i have let's say 3 chaos spawns involved in 1 combat. Do i get 1 roll of D6 attacks for each individual spawn?

Because the way it reads to my interpretation it seems like each spawn gets 3D6 attacks!!! Which is insane, but why would they need to make a special rule for their number of attacks if it's meant to be a simple D6?

However i also don't get the logic in having each spawn boost every spawn involved in the combat by D6.

Anyway can someone explain?

You just roll once for the whole unit, and that's how many attacks each model gets.

Each Spawn rolls a D6 for the number of attacks it has.

1D6 for each spawn unit. The individual models in the unit would then get the same number of attacks.

It works the same way in the current CSM FAQ as it will in the new codex. Roll once for the unit, that's how many attacks each spawn gets that phase.

Ok thanks that's better and makes more sense.
