If you roll a one, and can reroll 1s, does the unit die still.

No. Unless it rolls another 1 of course!

Only if the result after the re-roll is also a 1; when you re-roll a die, the original roll never happened. Except for triggering the re-roll of course.

Also the unit doesn't die, the model can die. So you need to roll each models attacks separately

Unless you play a chaos land raider with combiplasma, then the bearer is destroyed after shooting with this weapon.

See, that's what I thought. The re-rolls don't affect the outcome or consequences of the first role. The bearer is still destroyed. BUT they get a second chance at a successful attack, that is all. Granted this is how I have always seen it played, that does not mean it is correct. But I still read it, 1's kill plasma, despite re-rolls.

That's wrong, and not what p5freak is talking about. Only the final dice roll matters, so if you re-roll 1s you only die if the re-roll is a 1. However, the Chaos Land Raider still ahs the old "model is slain" wording for the combi-plasma instead of the more recent "take a mortal wound" wording for vehicle-mounted plasma.

Agreed with Slipspace. If you re-roll a die, you totally ignore the results of the first roll. It it was a 1 it doesn't matter, it's what you get for a result on the reroll is what matters.

A reroll means the first roll never happened. There is no result of 1, because you did not roll it. You reroll pex into (hopefully) a 2+

What i meant is that a unit can die from plasma overload. GW couldnt be bothered to change the combiplasma ruling on the chaos land raider since the beginning of 8th, and it will most likely remain the same until the new CSM codex comes out 2022.

My mistake. I admit fault and accept retraction.
