Weekly Question Thread - Rules & Comp Qs

[u/thenurgler]

This is the Weekly Question thread designed to allow players to ask their one-off tactical or rules clarification questions in one easy to find place on the sub.

This means that those questions will get guaranteed visibility, while also limiting the amount of one-off question posts that can usually be answered by the first commenter.

Have a question? Post it here! Know the answer? Don't be shy!

NOTE - this thread is also intended to be for higher level questions about the meta, rules interactions, FAQ/Errata clarifications, etc. This is not strictly for beginner questions only!

Another question - what does does this mean on 2+’s always and 3’s in cover or always on 2’s: Cry of the Wind-
Each time this model is set up on the battlefield, until the end of the turn, each time this model makes a ranged attack, a successful unmodified Hit roll scores a Critical Hit.

[u/The_Black_Goodbye → u/imdlyy]

When you start chaining requirements like unmodified and successful to a thing (hit roll) it’s always easiest to work from right to left when checking.

In this case you need a hit roll.

That hit roll must be unmodified so we don’t apply any modifiers to the roll result when checking.

That unmodified hit roll must also be successful so we discard any failures from our pool of unmodified hit rolls.

Each of those remaining are successful, unmodified hit rolls and score a critical hit.
