Can I reroll when I shoot the SAG with the Lucky Stikk? It says that you can reroll to hit-rolls. Does the scatter die count as that?

I'm thinking of a fun Big Mek build, with Warbike, SAG, and Lucky Stikk, and wonder if it works like I think.

Thanks in advance

You should be able to, just can't refill the STR roll

Nice, so that way I can effectively get a kind-of accurate SAG?

no you cant unfortunately.

A scatter roll is not a "To Hit" roll. So lukky stikk doesnt allow you to reroll it.

Ah, too bad... Ammo runts would not help with that either I suppose?

Depends on the wording for ammo runts.

I think they still work since you just burn the runt to gain twin-linked for a turn. Not positive though.

If you can reroll your to-hit, you can reroll blast scatter, unless that rule has gone?

Yes, you can reroll the scatter in such a case. It's why you take Ammo Runts for 3pts if you take the SAG.

But won't the Lucky Stikk help then? It grants (among other things) re-rolls to hit?
The ammo runts are one use only, that's why I'm thinking of using the Stikk instead.

lukky stikk would let you reroll the scatter dice and 2d6, but I believe you must reroll both.

Blast Weapons and Re-rolls If a model has the ability to re-roll its rolls To Hit and chooses to do so after firing a Blast weapon, the player must re-roll both the scatter dice and the 2D6.

I can live with that. Thanks

Yep sorry my mistake on that. I was thinking you had to have twin-linked to reroll blasts.

I've been thinking about running a big mek on bike with SAG and stickz. also with a git finder to give bs 3 (but thats a different discussion)

only thing my opponent asks... what classes as a fail on the re-roll? anything other then a direct hit? what if it scatters 1 inch so still 'hits' the target?

You could use to reroll the blast, but not the str, as has been said.

But honestly, ammo runts are cheaper, do the same job, and free up the immensely valuable stikk for other, better uses.

I guess the stikk would also you reroll wounds potentially, but still I'd count it as a waste, on the whole.

Agreed. Max out Ammo runts, for about 9pts? You will probably not use them all anyway. You might also consider the Gitfinda, as the Big Mek can't move any time he shoots, and so he'll be at BS3.

What is with the undead threads of late?
Now excuse me, I have to find someone to hide behind and scream in fear....

I do it a lot, make sure he has a Killsaw in case he teleports into combat. Lukky stikk it up!
