Maybe another stupid Q.

At the start of your Shooting phase, select one friendly IRON HANDS unit within 6" of this Warlord. Once that phase, when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon by a model from that unit, you can re-roll the hit roll. Once that phase, when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon by a model from that unit, you can reroll the wound roll. Once that phase, when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon by a model from that
unit, you can re-roll the damage roll.


Based on the wording here would you agree that this does not apply to an armorium cherub's attacks with a MM?

Devestators can take a cherub, which allows one of them (possibly armed with a multi-melta) to fire again in the shooting phase.

I don't see why the effects of the stated warlord trait couldn't be applied to that bonus attack, although you would still be limited to doing each part once in the shooting phase overall so I am not seeing how that is an advantage.

The attack is not made by an Armorium Cherub; the Cherub allows a Devastator to attack again. This stratagem would function on the extra attack made by a Devastator.

Everyone's being a bit pedantic here, it's rather clear he's referring to the Cherub's ability to let a model fire twice. Given that it lasts until the end of the phase, I'd say it would work.

No. As noted by others, the Armorium Cherub does not attack, it allows one model in the unit to shoot again with one of its ranged weapons. Assuming the Devastator unit was the selected unit, it would be allowed to utilize any of the once per phase re-roll of hit roll, wound roll, or damage roll that was not used by the unit during its prior attacks.

I didn't mean to literally say the cherub's attack, but rather the attacks provided by using the cherub. Apologies for the confusion.

To make sure I have it right --

The MM shoots two shots ( because "attack" means all shots from that weapon ). The opponent rerolls one of the shots, wounds twice, then rerolls both damage rolls. Then he uses the cherub. He can no longer reroll any hits or damage, but can do so on to wound rolls.

Heavy 2 means you make two attacks.

NUMBER OF ATTACKS
When a model shoots a ranged weapon, it will make a number of attacks. You make one hit roll for each attack being made.
The number of attacks that a model makes with a ranged weapon is equal to the number written on that weapon’s profile after its type.


Targeting protocols says : "...when resolving an attack made with a ranged weapon by a model from that unit...." So its for one attack, not both. If you already used your rerolls for the hit and damage, you only have the wound reroll left for one attack from the cherub.

p5freak is correct, once you use the rerolls for the hit and damage, you only have the wound reroll left. (for that phase/strat usage).

You can only re-roll 1 hit roll, 1 wound roll, and 1 damage roll that phase with the Strat.

I concur. One re-roll for each type of roll (hit, wound, damage) for Targeting Protocols for that unit during that phase, although it is a warlord trait rather than a stratagem.

You would be allowed to get another reroll in each phase, so 1 for the movement phase, 1 for the pychic phase, 1 for shooting phase, 1 for overwatch in the charge phase, and 1 for the fight phase.

There isnt any units that can shoot or fight in every phase of the game yet, but you never know.

With marines you could technically fire in the movement phase (with auspex scan), the shooting phase, the charge phase (with overwatch), and fight in the fight phase.

You could also fire in the opponent psychic phase if he kills a model and you have the shoot on death banner.

You trigger the ability at the start of your shooting phase and it affects "that phase" only.
