Hi there dakka dakka, some quick questions that i cannot find the answeers too, but i know are right infront of me.

1. When a squad of 10 assault marines use their jump packs to assault they get hammer of wrath do they get 10 HoW attacks, or just 1 for the unit of 10. Thanks.

2. Jump pack units aka blood angel assualt squad in this instance, when using the jump packs to move onto difficult terrain they may use 3 dice and disgard the lowest? Im not sure if im remembering this correctly.

Thanks for your help!

Another quick one Astorath the grims axe is strength 6 axe, power weapon, so for the 6th ed rules the axe is +1 strength and ap 2, unwieldly, so are astoraths attacks strength 7 ap 2, Iinitiative 1. ?

1. First sentence of Hammer of Wrath.
2. Skyborne special rule (Jump units), second sentence.

Remember, any deep striking units (if they deep struck) treat the Difficult terrain as dangerous. and I have always rolled it as 10 HOW attacks (not that much has ever come out of it)

When charging with Jump Units, remember that, if they moved with Jump rules in the Move phase, then they don't benefit from Jump rules in the Assault phase.

Also as a side note for hammer of wrath it's only a number of hits = to the amojunt of models able to achieve B2B contact. Normally meaning your not going to get all your hammers unless you were really close and roll a good charge distance. Astaroth has been erratad and since I don't think that goes against dakka dakka's site rules to post makes him str +2 ap 2 unwieldy. blah blah special rule about rerolling invulns blah blah
