Hey, I'm just putting together a leadership bomb list, just for fun really, using all 3 aeldari factions and was hoping someone could help me out with the following...

I have the harlequins silent shroud masque trait, which states any units within 6" 'must roll 2 dice and use the highest' for morale tests.

Plus I have a shadow spectre exarch which basically gives the same rule, only it's worded as 'must roll an additional dice and discard the lowest'.

So would they effectively stack and force my opponent to roll 3 dice, using the highest, for any morale checks, provided they were both within 6" ?

To be honest I am not sure. You can argue that they are both simultaneously happening, thus whoever's turn it is gets to pick the order.

If you order it Shadow Spectre then Silent Shroud the Shroud would overwrite the effect of the Shadow Spectre by explicitly specifying two dice. Morale Test (1D6) > Add an additional dice and discard the lowest (2D6) > Roll 2 dice and discard the lowest (2D6)

If you order it Silent Shroud then Shadow Spectre the Shroud would set the morale test to two dice, then Shadow Spectre would add one on top of that. Morale Test (1D6) > Roll 2 dice and discard the lowest (2D6) > Add an additional dice and discard the lowest (3D6)

And in a classic case of GW being GW, they actually fixed this sort of problem before, in the Grey Knights codex (Psychic Channelling stratagem), by changing it from a fixed number of dice to just adding an additional D6 instead.

Now the real question is if you order it Shadow Spectre then Silent Shroud, do the two discard the lowest affect two dice or just one dice?

Email GW and maybe we'll get errata some time in 2087.

Now imagine a unit nearby who has a rule which says you must roll two dice and discard the highest roll. What now ? GW makes rules without thinking about the consequences, without FAQ answer. Its ridiculous.

Already happened for Grey Knights Psychic Channeling vs Tyranids The Deepest Shadow. You had to both roll a single dice and three dice. GW fixed it by making the Grey Knights stratagem an additional D6 instead of a fixed three.

Thanks guys, I'll email GW, they might faq it at some point if it gets raised.

Will probably just roll off for it until then though.
