Hi lads, I have a small question: What happens if my unit is armed with two hand weapons, and so can re-roll 1's and they get +1 to hit? I mean the dice result will be 2 - 7. That's what I gather from modified saving throws.

Also what happens if my unit has a 4+ armour save, may re-roll 1's and is hit by a rend -2? Lets say the die itself lands on "2", does it now gets modified to "0", or does it allow the re-roll?

Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll,
which means you get to roll some or all of
the dice again. You can never re-roll a dice
more than once, and re-rolls happen before
modifiers to the roll (if any) are applied.

From the AoS rules, first page, first column, at the bottom.

the modifier impacts the result needed whereas the reroll impacts the dice.

if you need a 4+ to hit but you have a modifier of +1 then you only need a 3 for a success. if you reroll 1 then if the dice is a 1 you can reroll it.

rend works the same way. but if you had an armour save of 5+ against a -2 rend you would no longer be allowed to make a save roll.

Thanks, so there is no rules conflict. I suppose the game's rules are too dense for me

So does that mean a 4+ save unit in cover getting hit with a rend -3 weapon doesn't allow them to roll for the 6+ modified save?

In that instance, you would get a 6+ save...4+ base, add one for a 3+ for cover, then reduce by the rend -3 for the final save of 6+.
