6+ to hit vs. Natural 6

[SwampHeart]

So GW had seemingly been moving towards natural dice rolls instead of modified dice rolls but then today we get the Gloomspite Preview which suggests that :

Spiderfang Grot units deal mortal wounds on a 5+ to hit, rather than a 6+.

So apparently some books will still use modified 'to hit' rolls instead of unmodified rolls. I wonder if this is just a Warhammer Community inconsistency or are we going to have some books that use 'unmodified X to hit' and some books that use 'on a X+ to hit'. I surely hope its just a mix up in language rather with WarCom.

Could well be deliberate, an intentional boost for some units over others

Were there is an ability to stack a buff they will do unmodified where there is not a 6+ to hit will be in place. At least that's what I remember with the Stormcast interview this week. (and I could be totally wrong)

I'm sure that will turn out to be unmodified 6, and 5 or 6, Warhammer community is never a reliable source of the wording on rules

[PJetski]

Most likely just a typo.

Warhammer Community makes mistakes sometimes, remember

I hope that we move towards greater consistency for how modifiers work. While I like the synergies that modifiers across multiple units provide, the clarity of some of the newer books is nice.

I'd actually prefer if it was a natural 5+ instead of modifiers. Too many negatives to hit floating around

Used to be a command ability on the Grot Big boss. So probably still is or it changed up to being an allegiance ability. Might be similar to lot of the others involving hero’s required to be close by.
