So the Tau cadre fireblade has the volleyfire ability to generate an extra hit on 6s. If i take through unity devastation does the extra hit generated also receive the extra -1ap? And again if i take through boldness victory does the extra hit from volley fire auto wound?

Do i still need to roll to hit with the exra hits or do the extra hits just act like flamer hits and they just auto hit and i just roll to wound?

I thought Through Unity, Devastation said each time you make a wound roll of 6+ etc.

And I thought, Through Boldness, Victory, said If your Warlord is within 12" of an enemy unit at the start of your Shooting phase, you can re-roll failed hit rolls.


is there a new book or something that I missed?

P.S. the 40k FAQ Page 2 has this to say:

"Page 363 – Rare Rules
Add the following sub-section:
SCORING ADDITIONAL HITS
When a model makes an attack, some rules will let that attack score one or more additional hits on a particular hit roll (e.g. ‘each time an attack is made with this weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 scores 1 additional hit’). If the attacking model isalso benefiting from any other rules that trigger on a particular hit roll (e.g. ‘each time an attack is made with this weapon, an unmodified hit roll of 6 automatically wounds the target’), then only the original attack benefits from those rules. If any additional hits are scored as the result of a particular hit roll, those additional hits are not considered to have been made with any hit roll – they simply hit the target and you must continue the attack sequence for them (i.e. make a wound roll)."

Oh yea through unity, devastation is on a wound of 6. Totally missed that.

And the rare rules ruling clears up my question for the other one also thanks.
