So amusingly, this interaction also works between Hellblasters and World Eater Hellbrute. Get Tabletop, RPG & Pop Culture news delivered directly to your inbox. It feels right that if two super angry dreadnoughts get into a fight, that they would fight until ones dies – like Siamese fighting Fish! But what happens if two World Eater Hellbrutes (or other units with this rule) fight? Well, unless one player chooses to stop (the utter coward) they will fight infinite times immediately until one is dead. This can let you make a lot of attacks if the enemy keeps hitting you without killing you. In effect, every time you attack this model, with shooting or melee, it can attack you back. It is shared by a few other units in the game, mostly angry Dreadnought units. World Eater Hellbrutes have a rule called Frenzy. Of course it’s unlikely, but still theoretically a lot of shooting! World Eater Hellbrutes Fight For Alpha-Dominance

In total, that means with the right set up, each model in a Hellblaster units have the potential to shoot five times in one round (once from the Impulsor, once after getting kicked out, potentially two overwatches, and once on death.). If you have Guilliman around and the right combo, you might even be able to overwatch twice. In addition, any models killed by shooting or in close combat (you have plasma pistols, right?) they have a chance at shooting. Then any models that die from hazardous can potentially shoot – at full BS since they are no longer firing overwatch.

If you can find a way to allow the unit to Fire Overwatch (remember, units forced to disembark are battle-shocked and normally can’t be targeted by stratagems), you could shoot again. This gives you to option to fire up to three times with each model in the unit in one phase. Then we get to For the Chapter! If, on this second time firing the unit any fail hazardous tests, they have the chance of shooting again. Meaning you can fire with them once again! Now because technically it was the Impulsor that shot, the Hellblasters are still eligible to shoot. Now let’s say this test fails and kills the tank forcing them to disembark. However, the tank will have to take a hazardous test if you overcharged.

In your shooting phase you use the Firing Deck rule to shoot the Hellblasters out of the back of the tank. Anyway, fasten your seatbelts fellow denizens of the grimdark, and let’s take a look. Maybe these need to be FAQ’d, or clarified, or maybe they are just fine. Because of that, I wanted to take a look at some crazy and weird things the rules let you do right now. Luckily GW is working to patch them, we’ve gotten one FAQ this week and will get another by the end of the month. Right now people are out there playing and having fun with the game. Take a look at some absolutely crazy things the rules let you do in Warhammer 40,000 10th Edition.ġ0th Edition is well and truly here.
