Slaves to Darkness questions (new rules)

[Blisterfeet]

Hi everyone,

Here are 3 rules that arose from a match up with Sylvaneth today and the new rules:

1) How does Archaon's re-roll hit rolls of 6 affect exploding sixes of Winterleaf and Mortal wounds generated off normal 6s by Drycha?

Would you get the extra hit but not the mortal wound? Get both but have to re-roll? Get neither and re-roll?

2) When a monster dies with 'My Will' on them and the warscroll has a profile do you use the lowest bracket on the weapons? 

3) So another 'My Will' question - 40 mauraders have the buff on the when they die they are spaced out 1 inch apart across the mid section. RAW says the unit can fight in melee if they are killed but does not state they can pile in. Does this 

a) mean they can only hit (1 inch range) the unit in base contact, if no targets are eligible they are removed

b) they can pile in 3 inches to closest target and then fight like in the Khorne book, which states the words 'pile in'

4) unit of X is in a circle deployment 6" around an objective. Unit gets charged by 2 separate units (Y and Z) and they end up 6 and a half inch away from the objective. The first unit Y wipes unit X, can unit Z with no eligible target pile in 3inches and claim the objective? 

Thanks in advance and apologies if any of these are obvious they caused us a few problems to suss out.

The re-roll triggers before modifiers or abilities trigger, so the dice have to be re-rolled and the other effect doens't trigger unless the re-roll would trigger it.

After the model has x wounds allocated to the it before it is removed, yes, it would use the lowest stats

The term "fight" is a synomym for pile in and attack. Corerules page 5 Combat phase paragraph 3

Quote

If you pick a unit to fight, it first piles
in, and then the models in the unit
must attack.

Thanks, hopefully someone will clear up number 4 for us 💪🤘

There are 2 conditions to piling in: 

1. The unit is within 3" and hence in combat
2. The unit has made a charge move earlier in the turn

 

Unit Z can decide to pile in 3" and claim the objective despite no units being around, since it has made a charge move earlier in the turn.
