Hey all, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on the following question which I encountered during a recent game?

Essentially how many dice do you roll when using the Banner of Blood when assaulting through difficult terrain?
Normally you roll 3D6 pick the lowest two rolls when determining charge distance through difficult terrain, however the banner states the following:
...Once per game the bearer...can charge 6+D6" instead of the usual amount(My emphasis)
Now is this "usual amount" the standard 2D6 charge distance or the "usual amount" based on the current situation? In which case when charging through DT this would be 3D6.

It feels like the intended rule would be 6+2D6 pick the lowest but I'm not certain if that is the case. Am I missing any rules that would effect this situation or is this another question for the long awaited Daemons FAQ?

Banner of Blood replaces the charge roll with 6+1d6 since you roll that instead of the normal amount

The normal amount when charging through terrain is 3d6 pick two lowest, so that gets replaced with 6+1d6

As above. Your normal amount through terrain is 3D6, you replace that with 6" + 1D6

Perfect, thanks for the clarification guys.

I had not thought that through yet. I don't use 'letters, but that makes the Bloody Banner a lot more attractive.... Certainly going to use it more than once a month....

Yep, combined with the Cannon to get effective assault grenades....
