    Question: coherence. Is it enforced that you have to maintain coherence at all times no matter what, or can you send units out of coherence, and they just loose the associated bonuses?

    12:32 - NOTE: Before determining the location damaged on the Critical Hit Table, you do need to roll 2d6 on the "Determining Critical Hit Location" table, in order to determine if the critical hit goes through. If less than an 8 is rolled, no critical hit is scored. Apologies for the confusion! 😅

  • @ZackHeise
    @ZackHeise หลายเดือนก่อน

    I believe you should still roll on Determining Critical Hits table after rolling that snake eyes. It's not an automatic crit, just a chance at it. The bullet punched through but still need to see if it hit anything.

    • @jochenwenzel8878
      @jochenwenzel8878 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, you need to roll as usual to determine a crit. Snake eyes are a potential critical hit and not automatic.

    • @EmptyWallets
      @EmptyWallets หลายเดือนก่อน

      Good catch! We decided to keep things simple, but could understand why that is confusing! Yes you are supposed to roll on the "Determining Critical Hits" table before determining critical hit location even when rolling snake eyes on a hit location. We will pin a comment to make things clearer. Thank you so much for the feedback!

    I started playing when it first came out. It was called BattleDroids. George Lucas sued and they changed the name. I probably have 30+ first generation minatures which were plastic models from other companies. The smaller, metal ones were much better.

      Battle tomes are where you find all the war scrolls for your army, core book has rule and lore, and GBH has rules and seasonal stuff! BUT all of that has changed with 4.0. Generally the same for the Core-book and the GHB, but you can for now get your army pdfs from Warhammer for free until the new books come out. (Not sure how they are going to do the books going forward, but we will see.)

  • @Tehstampede
    @Tehstampede 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like the OPR stuff a lot more these days. 10ed 40k, the Primaris stuff and the massive lore violation with the Custodes have pretty much killed all of my interest in 40k at this point, so it's great to have OPR as a solid alternative. I will say I'm not a huge fan of the unit size rules (combined units). My understanding of this is that if I want a 10-woman unit of Warrior Sisters, I need to buy two sergeant upgrades, two of any equipment upgrades like the Canticle Megaphone. I wish there was an option to just buy more models for the unit instead of the Combined Units rule; it feels needlessly clunky. Also, I'm not in love with the fact that you only ever hit on 6's in melee combat. My understanding is that if neither side is wiped out, then the next turn the other unit would still need to "charge" in again because they moved back 1" so would again only hit on 6's.
