I am interested in tanking with a mega armored character.

If i have a MA warboss in a unit of boys in Battlewagon and the wagon blows up can i allocate all these blow up wounds to the tank?

If i have a big mek in mega armor tanking with lucky stick and he gets 5 wounds for example. He makes 3 of them fails two then lucky sticks 2. Does that count as 2 "rerolls" or a reroll for doing the two wounds.

Thanks.

First. The wounds from being in a vehicle exploding are randomly allocated, so unless you get lucky on the random, you won't be able to save many boys with your big guy's armor.

Second, each hit wound or save die is a roll for DLS. However, the DLS only cares if you FAILED the reroll. You can use it 50000 times a turn as long as you don't fail the reroll three times in a turn.

So if you fail two saves, then reroll both, and fail both somehow again through terrible luck, that's two fails that turn. Don't fail another.

Niv-Mizzet is correct on both responses. I just wanted to point out that exploding wound allocation in 6th edition worked as the OP described. The player rolling the saves USED to be able to allocate all wounds from the explosion to any model they wanted to. In 7th edition that rule changed and it is back to being randomly allocated.

Just wanted to point that out!

Except DLS is per game... right?

Per turn as far as I remember.

It is per turn.

The mega-armor tank is good for lootas or mek guns. And for that setup you may want to use a big mek.

But even if you did use the battlewagon boys in the setup you described, he is good to lead the charge once the wagon is blown up. Also great for absorbing overwatch fire and is still a beast in close combat.
