Looks like super-explody Plasma is here to stay. Oh, and Night Lords.

That is correct infantry only.

so it wont work on bikes (IIRC) or hellbrutes

the only time you would ever want to over charge them is probably on terminators, and characters (possibly obliterators and mutalators iirc) otherwise its not really worth risking it for the 2+ to wound.

Im more interested in the -3 ld for having 3 units near by a thing.

As i showed above, it's usually a good idea to overcharge for wounding on 2+ against t4 w1 marines as long as you have a way to reroll 1s.

You've not played against IG yet, have you? We ALWAYS overcharge our plasma guns unless we're shooting at T3. Our guys are so cheap we just don't care if they explode

Well, there go my twin-PP Vanguard vs Night Lords.

In one of their first twitch games, they rolled Disgustingly Resilient for Death Guard Defilers.

Or the DG CT is disgustingly resilient and they just tipped their hand a little early.

Doesn't matter if it is. CT don't apply to non-dread vehicles.

Good point - though some armies are bound to break that mold a bit.

Plasma wounds on a 3+ vs T4, right? So you overcharge to wound on a 2+ for when you REALLY need to kill something dead.
You'd have to be reaaaaaally keen on killing it to risk taking out your own guys for a slightly better chance of success. Maybe in the final turn and this is your last chance to take the enemy off of that objective that you want to hold. And then it's like... sure, die. Just get the shots off.

Terminators. You'll use it to protect night lord terminators.
