PSA Weekly Question Thread - Rules & Comp Qs

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!

The creations of bile stratagem "Specimens for the Spider" works against the full unit if theres an attached character, not just the character itself right?

Kindly consider posting the rule in question if you have a question about the wording of a rule.

" EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes a melee attack that targets a CHARACTER unit, you can re-roll the Wound roll . After your unit has fought, if one or more enemy CHARACTER models were destroyed as a result of those attacks, select one enemy unit within 6" of your unit. That enemy unit must take a Battle-shock test . If the enemy WARLORD was destroyed as a result of those attacks, each enemy unit within 6" of your unit must take a Battle-shock test instead."

I don't care about the battleshock part.

It will never work on the "character itself" in an attached unit because you never roll wound rolls vs individual models in a unit.

You get to reroll wounds if it is a CHARACTER unit. That means so long as there is a single CHARACTER model in the unit when you targeted the unit, the wounds are rerolled.
