A model that fails or takes a save from a Strike Down hit halves it's Initiative. Does 5 go to 2.5 rounding to 3 or does it stay at 2.5, therefore effectively 2.

Under "dividing to conquer" on Pg 5 BRB, it's talking about the D6 roll itself when talking about rounding fractions up.
On Pg 2 BRB, modifiers of characteristics are only multiplication, addition or subtraction.

Bottom line question: If Commander Farsight gets hit with Assail, then is charged by Plague Marines, does he fight at Initiative step 3 (which he's technically not at) or 2 (which I2.5 would fall under)

Rounds up.

Always does afaik.


So he is 3.

Modifiers rule says "Multipiers" not multiplication. This includes division.

BRB Page 5, Dividing to Conqure. It states you always round up in this situation.
