40K Intro- Warhammer 5th edition Tutorial Series 3 Part 3

[Menkhor]

3:05 - You say that the Emperor's Champion has a WS of 6, and the Ork's have a WS of 4. Why does that only increase his roll chance from a 4+ to a 3+..?

Also, you say that if any of the dice were 1's or 2's, he could re-roll thanks to "Accept Any Challenge", so doesn't that mean he can't miss..? Or I suppose he could if he rolled a 1 or 2 AGAIN, correct?

[sxebayard]

show y the emporers champion gets the first attack

[magnus962]

was the emperor's champion able to be singled out as a target by the attacking orcs because he was an independent character, or can that distinction always be made?

[doremicom]

because he's an independent character.  In close combat, independent characters are treated like a completely different unit.

[TheSugaShanesta]

who gets to pick where to distrubate the wounds? the att or def?

[RainiacWolf]

Orks have I 2

3 on charge

[darthkilzone]

so whats the deeference between glancing and penetrating hits on vehicles

[captaincool7695]

@darthkilzone it determines what you have to roll to either stun immobilize or destroy the vehicle. penetrating hits make it easier to blow up the vehicle to make it simpler

[darthkilzone]

so what if everybody is at a deffernt iniative?

[doremicom]

we have an initiative coming up on just that... but basically you'd start at the highest initiatve and work you way down.

[lordmagyar]

great vid easy to understand tutorial.

[Alexiosis]

So...if it's a penetrating hit..you roll a d6 and compare it with the chart that tells you what happens to the vehicle? It seems to easy to kill my dreadnought with 3 deffkoptas then.

[magnusprime10]

lol i killed a dreadnaught with my Warboss it was epic....cuz i blew it up..... lol

[simonvelez2]

so why didnt the orks have a nob? but space marines have a champion?

[doremicom]

No reason, just wanted to do a gradual step on teaching the assault phase.  Also, with that many bolterguns, there's no way that that many orks would have made it that close to the squad. So it kind of evens out.

[Alexiosis]

I'm really confused about the rules for shooting at vehicles, how do you decide if something is glancing or penetrating? Also, is a dreadnought a vehicle, or something else? Me and a friend just purchased Assaul on black reach, i play the space marines, and i always feel at a disadvantage because it seems like my dreadnought is killed so quickly by the deffkoptas. A question about morale checks: when do you take them? During assault, shooting, or both? Thanks

[doremicom]

There are way too many questions here for one comment. So I'll try to answer one

When firing at a vehicle:

1) Roll to hit the vehicle (7 - BS score when BS is 5 or lower).

2) For most weapons you roll one 6-sided die and add it to the strength of the weapon. ie, Lascannons are str 9, if you rolled a 4 you have 13. In this example, if the side of the vehicle you are firing on has armor 13 (equal to strength + d6) it's a glancing hit. If the vehicle has 12 or less it's a penetrating hit.

[Lacross2569]

1d6 + (strength of attack), if it matches armor then it's a glancing, if it is over then it's a penetrating. unless it's a special weapon[melta, lance, ordinance, ap1]

[doremicom]

much more concise answer. Thank you for adding this.

[RetributionAngel]

if the champion is in the SMsquad, do you not roll against the squad as a whole?

And the BT player gets to assign the wounds?

[doremicom]

No, the champion acts as his own squad until you determine the result of the assault (after initiative 1).

For clarificaion, you can find this on page 49 of the rule book... "Be aware, though, that this also means that independent characters can be targeted separately by models that are engaged with them."

[RetributionAngel]

thx... didn´t know that

[doremicom]

No problem.
