Hi folks,

My issue is probably a fairly simple one to resolve, and I really hope to avoid a wordplay debate, so here it is in hopes of a concise answer:

If I've cast Divination's Primaris Power (re-rolls to hit until the start of my next turn) on a squad at the start of my movement phase, then my opponent decides to assault that squad in his assault phase, does the squad get to re-roll failed 6's they fire in Overwatch? The power allows re-rolls to hit in both the shooting and combat phase, so it stands to reason the squad should be allowed to re-roll their Overwatch too, right?

Also, does the same apply for Master-Crafted weapons that fail to hit on a 6 during Overwatch? Do you get to re-roll a failed hit as per the Master-Crafted rule?

Yes. All Overwatch does is set your BS to an unmodifiable 1, so 6's to hit. Twin-linked, rerolls to hit, etc all apply just as they would if it was your shooting phase.

Just remember, you cant reroll a reroll. So no master crafted and the primaris power working together on overwatch.

Awesome. Sorted. Thanks guys.

prescience is that good, I use it with assault marines usually, re rolling the pistol shots, then re rolling to hit in combat (combined with furious charge from a sang priest) usually hitting on 4's re rolling and wounding on 3's usually its pretty darn tasty. Then you also get to re roll to hit in the opponents following assault phase or even overwatch.

I have also used it with devi squads, had a demon prince charge the unit while it had the full BS overwatch and prescience, DP didnt survive that volley
