Ok so this is probably obvious but I just wanted to clarify - say I have 20 bloodletters in a unit. They hit on 3+. One dies. There are now 19 in the unit. Do they still hit on a 3+ or does it revert to 4+?

I'd say it reverts to the 4+. Rule says they can add the +1 to hit rolls if the unit contains 20 or more models.

Hi, I have a question also for the bloodletters. From what I have seen but can't find any rules on it but. If a unit of 20+ bloodletters. Getting the +1 to hut. Does that affect the decapitation blow as a 5+? If it does. Is there an official rule on this?

If 1 dies, they do drop to 4+ to hit.

The +1 to Hit *Does* affect Decapitate so, in a unit of 20, they essentially decapitate on a 5 or 6.

Great thanks. Also is there an official rule for this because everyone I have play with. Disagree with the +1 to hit over 20 affect the decapitation blow. Also with a bloodsecrator abilities adding another +1 will that lower it to a 4+ then?

The FAQ explicitly states on page 5 that such modifiers will affect the ability. Also, Bloodsecrator adds to attacks, not hit rolls, so the ability will still trigger on a 5+ you'll just be getting another chance to roll it

Thank you. Duh me for not reading it and do getting the attack and to hit roll mixed up. Still new to the game.

Don't worry, silly mistakes like that even happen to the best of us!

Which is to say they happen to me. [/sarcasm]

Ha ha lol yeah. Just hope my army list holds up though.

Regarding the decapitation thing you can think of it like this: The +1 to hit rule does not change what you need to roll in order to score a hit or decapitate - it changes the results of your dice! Any 3 you roll becomes a 4, any 4 you roll becomes a 5, any 5 you roll becomes a 6 and any 6 you roll becomes a 7. Now the rule says that any hit you roll of 6 or more becomes a decapitate, which means that any 5 or 6 result on the dice becomes a hit of 6 or 7, and therefore decapitates.

Hope that helped =)
