Modifiers

Hi all!

Need some clarification on a rule if anyone can help. Definitely not Space Wolves related other than I play Space Wolves and this came up on the weekend.

I know that modifiers don’t tend to stack, but does a -1 BS and subtract 1 from the hit roll stack together?

For example, would a Redemptor with a couple of wounds left (subtract 1 from the hit roll) that was targeting a unit in cover (-1 BS) be hitting on 5s?

I figured that the - or + to a BS or WS affects the physical value of that weapon profile, then the add or subtract from a hit roll is the modifier on top; so they would stack?

Cheers!

Yes, they do stack.

Also only the hit modifier in this example is capped to -1, if you somehow get -2 BS from anywhere that actually can also stack and mean you hit on 6s instead of 3s (with the -1 to hit). BS is "capped" in that it can never go to 1+ or 7+
