In the space marine codex hellfire rounds have SX and poisioned (2+)

There is no Ranged Poisoned special rule, but there is a close combat one.

This close combat one gives the ability to re-roll wounds if "the strength of the wielder is equal to or greater then the toughness of the victim"'



... What is the Effective Strength of X, and if would this allow re-rolls anyway? cause the rule is in the Close combat, and not the shooting section?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693168.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693168.page GMT Hellfire rounds and re-rolling wounds http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693190.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693190.page GMT Hellfire rounds and re-rolling wounds

This was changed in the GW Errata. Hellfire Rounds now have a strength of 1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693197.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693197.page GMT Hellfire rounds and re-rolling wounds
Thanks

"Page 66, 100, 144. The profile of Hellfire Rounds
and Hellfire Shells should be changed by
replacing ‘Strength X’ with ‘Strength 1’."


However... now to play devils advocate

the RAW says the strength of the wielder, not the strength of the weapon...

A Friend of mine pointed out a something awesome..

It specifically says that "the wielder must re-roll failed rolls to wound in close combat"

So, no matter what the strength is, guns can NEVER re-roll failed wounds due to poisoned.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693201.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693201.page GMT Hellfire rounds and re-rolling wounds
It wounds on a 2+ (because it's hellfire.)

HOWEVER:

IN faq, and the re-printed codex, hellfire rounds are considered strength 1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693218.page GMT Hellfire rounds and re-rolling wounds http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693536.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693536.page GMT Hellfire rounds and re-rolling wounds RaW, Poisoned Ranged weapons do not work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693561.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/301871/1693561.page GMT
