So if you ally a psyker with skitarii and are able to cast misfortune on a unit ( a malediction that targets a single enemy unit within 24". Whilst the power is in effect, all attacks that hit the target unit have the rending special rule.) Then you are able to get into CC with the affected unit with a unit of skitarii that has taser goads or lances which have the taser rule (when making an attack with a weapon that has this special rule, a to hit of 6 causes 2 additional hits on the target.) Do the additional hits gain rending? My gut feeling on this is no because the 2 extra hits did not have a dice rolled for them therefore no 6 was rolled for rending to take affect. Yet at the same time I'm conflicted because the 2 extra hits are directly the result of the first 6 rolled. I'm curious to get some more opinions on the matter.

Rending relies on To Wound rolls. Taser Goads rely on To Hit rolls.

Well that was a long post about nothing then! Haha

True, Taser activates on 'to hit', but Radium weapons activate on 'to wound'. Suddenly your 10 man basic vanguard squad is erasing -anything- with a T value.

Just to note: yes both tazer hits on the 6 to-hit would have the rending special rule.

So eaxh to-wound of 6 for all the hits would get the rending effect.

Yowzers this would hurt a squad of termies badly haha
