Hi I have been wondering about how to resolve rolling double 5's on the Shokk attack gun chart. Double 5's says to not resolve the attack but instead treat the unit as if it was in close combat with the target. How would this work for placing models and if you can involve multiple units in the close combat? Also does it count as charging?
The reason for the question was that if a big mek with Shokk attack gun had the super cybork upgrade which gave it relentless and then joined the green tide had rolled double 5's, how would that get resolved due to the model count.

Reread the 5,5 result. All you do is take the Mek and place him and close combat with the unit you shot at.

Yep, so it bypasses the charge phase and Overwatch. When you get to the assault phase you just start piling in.
It's only the big mek. We are no longer using the old codex which said unit. Our current codex says just the big mek.

no overwatch, and no bonus attack for charging as neither happened.

Just the big mek goes.

Its only a 3% chance but I give my big mek a big choppa and eavy armor just in case if he has a shokk attack gun.
