  1. Can you confirm that command re roll is for a single dice? I took it as a single roll is the roll despite the amount of dice. Such as 5 attacks = 5 dice but is a single roll so you can re roll them all (fishing for sixes comes to mind)

  2. 🟣 8:27 Epic Challenge
    The Battle Bunker App, no longer has the "enemy character must be visible to your Character" .
    We have taken this as the App is correct, being newer than the printed book. It also takes away all the debate over, what in a melee blocks L.O.S.
    You simply fight with your Character that has Epically Challenged and apply the Precison rule.

  3. Watching the video it really stands out how Tyranids don't have access to Grenades, Tank Shock and Smoke. It's not a deal breaker for the faction but it is a pretty bad detail when Nids already lack ways to punch into hard targets like you'd expect them to.

  4. What are people's thoughts on the grenade strat though, it says you can choose a unit that hasn't been selected to shoot yet, but things like advance and fall back exclude a unit from being able to be selected to shoot, so you can never get to the point of having a unit that wasn't selected to shoot, when you can't select it in the first place.

    You basically can't get to the point of not selecting something that was never an option to select in the first place.

    But things like assault, or LT's letting you fall back and shoot would allow a unit to advance and grenade, or fall back and grenade. Would be nice to get a proper FAQ that says you can or you can't.
