This weekend I had a fun little tournament. I bought a Sylvaneth list with Kurnoth Hunters using Greatbows and supported them with a "Horn of the Consort" artefact.
While playing, my opponent flipped out when during the shooting phase I only re-rolled my failed hit rolls (target number is 4+ so every 1s, 2s or 3s were re-rolled, 4s, 5s and 6s were not).
The artefact states the following: "You can re-roll hit rolls for attacks made by friendly HEARTWOOD KURNOTH HUNTERS wholly within 12" of the bearer."
The hunters have a similar rule Tanglethorn Thicket: "...If you do so, until the end of the turn, this unit cannot move except to pile in up to 1", but you can re-roll save rolls for attacks that target this unit."
My question is the following: In the end, are you required to re-roll all dice in the case of these rules, regardless whether they failed or succeeded, or can you "cherry pick" your results? (For example I use 6 dice with the results of three 2s, and three 5s, do I HAVE to re-roll all six if I want to use the rules, or can I choose only the three 2s?)
Are there any official releases or FAQs that help clarify this problem? The only seemingly relevant piece of rule was in the core rules: "RE-ROLLS Some rules allow you to re-roll a dice roll, which means you get to roll some or all of the dice again. " Does this apply here?
