Hi everyone, so i want to clarify my theory here

say i got a unit of 3 arcos equipped with flails
each arcos have 2 attacks

weapon rule says :
Each time an attack is made with this weapon, make 2 hit rolls instead of 1.

That is treated as if the models has 4 attack each right?

so in total my unit of 3 arcos would make 12 hit rolls
if 2 fails, then i proceed to make 10 wound rolls
if 4 wound rolls fail, then the enemy would make 6 save rolls
then if 5 saves fail, they take 5 damage right?

------------------------------------------------------

another case, if i have a priest chanting War Hymn to them and it inspires, that means they got +1 attack per model

so my unit of 3 would have 3 attacks each, that means i got to roll (3x2)x3 = 18 hit rolls in total and proceed as above, right?

and if i use the Extremis Trigger Word stratagem, instead of 2 hit rolls/attack, i make 3 hit rolls/attack

so my 3 arcos would make a total of (3x3)x3 = 27 hit rolls?

ty in advance for the answers

So I do better if we use specific models as an example.

1 Arco Flag has 2 attacks. Each attack makes 2 hit rolls. (Sounds pedantic but very important). So for each extra attack, they get to make two rolls.

So 1 model with a nearby priest, makes 6 attacks. 3 AFs with a priest would make 18 attacks.

If you popped the Strat, (Which I am not sure made it to 9th, can someone verify) you would do 9 hitrolls per model, so a group would get to roll 27 times to see if they get any hits.

Arco Flaggelants are some of the most bonkers models in the game, go nutz!

Ty for the reply

Follow up question :

Those 27 hit rolls, say all succesfully hits and wounds, and the enemy fails to save any
That means the enemy take 27 x 1 damage right?

Yes. Every Hit Roll is resolved as if it where a separate attack.

Extremis Trigger Word does exist in the new book. But I want to note that the Priests' ability (War hymn) is a limited, targeted (comand phase) buff now
