I am assuming that since obliterators aren't a vehicle that they are in fact affected by the rule, 'gets hot'.  This is correct?

Furthermore, I am curious about their TLed Plasma gun.  Let's say I fire TLed plasma and get a 1 as a result.  Provided the wound doesn't kill the obliterator does it then reroll the to hit dice to see if the shot hits via TLed?

I dunno about the get hot thing with oblits, but you get to re-roll the Plasma TL shot before you roll the "gets hot" wound so in theroy you can advoid it.

Yes, oblits are infantry, so suffer from Gets Hot!

With twin-linked plasma, as was already posted, you re-roll any missed 'to hit' dice before working out any Gets Hot! effects.  Twin-linking is nice that way

But remember that if you have one shot, roll a 2 and then roll a 1 you suffer from "get's hot".

Does re-rolling a miss really count as firing a second shot?

You have to take the results of the 2nd shot. therefore-yep.

Jfrazel:

I think Dreddnott was asking if re-rolling a miss counted as firing a second shot (meaning you'd trigger gets hot on a roll of '1' or '2' instead of just a '1').

Dreddnott, the answer is no. A re-roll is a re-roll. You are taking the roll over again.
