While this has not happened yet I would like to know how this may play out if it does come up, consider two scenarios:

1.) A heavy destroyer hits a venerable dread, goes to wound and gets a pen. With venerable armour I am forced to re-roll the pen and I roll a , do I get to use my preferred enemy since I didnt use it yet ?

2.) Same deal as before except when I got to wound I get a and use preferred enemy and end up with a pen, venerable armour again and I roll another , so preferred enemy again or stick with the result?


I dont play space marines so cant quote the venerable rule, but it would still be nice to know for the future.

You can't reroll a dice more than once, regardless of the source(s) of the reroll.

Venerable lets you re roll the damage chart results on a Pen

not the to pen roll. so both are a no.

You cannot re-roll a re-roll, even from a different and opposing source of re-rolls.

EDIT: Also, apparently everything else about the scenario is incorrect anyway.

Point the first, you do not roll to wound against vehicles (minor nitpick I know).
Point the second, you can never re-roll a re-roll even if from two different sources.
Point the third, "Venerable" doesn't force re-roll penetrating hits, it re-rolls damage results.
Point the fourth, Preferred Enemy does nothing for Penetration rolls, only To Hit and To Wound rolls.

interesting, I will have to have a talk with a previous opponent about that.

Thanks

my logic was flawed thinking I was forced to re-roll pen, not damage, but thank you
