So when i charge in to difficult terrain with sky-slasher swarm do i roll 2d6 or 3d6(discard highest)?

Swarm rule says this:''However, Swarms are adept at crossing terrain that would slow others - they are not slowed by Diffrcult Terrain, but must test for dangerous terrain as normal.''

I'm confused as to what you think "not slowed by difficult terrain" could possibly mean apart from rolling 2d6 when charging through difficult terrain.

that didnt aswered my question =) just someone could aswer is it 2d6 or 3d6(discarding the highest one)

Jump infantry: charge range 2d6. effect of the difficult terrain: 3d6 discarding the highest one.

and swarm says: "not slowed by difficult terrain"

He did answer. Not slowed by terrain is different from the dangerous terrain roll. You roll the distance as if in the open, but take a dangerous terrain test where applicable

Although note they still suffer the Initiative penalty, BRB FAQ: (http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m3440036a_40K_RULEBOOK_v1.5_September_13.pdf)

Q: Do models that ignore difficult terrain when moving or charging still fight at Initiative step 1 if they charge through difficult terrain? (p22)
A: Yes.
