Quick question here: I’m fixing to add in a mob of black orcs in my cwarf list, and I noticed the boss character’s Waaagh! ability (ld test, if passed gives self, joined unit and/or mount re-roll 1’s to hit and +1 combat res).
Now, if your boss has this thing active while rocking the Obsidian Vambraces, what happens then?
Roll a nat 1 - vambraces go poof - re-roll?
Or
Roll a nat 1 - re-roll - vambraces hopefully stay?
I’m leaning towards the latter, but would like to hear your input
Yeah I agree, it’s the second. The “natural” only means that it’s not triggered if, for some reason, you suffer a -1 to hit and roll a 2. But if you can re-roll 1s for this turn, then the vembraces only bust if the re-roll is a 1 as well. It’s the same with poison attacks and armour bane or whatnot.
Hey hey! Welcome to the forum! You’re exactly right. This thread was posted before the latest FAQ, that’s why I was rolling with vambraces on my big boss
These days I’m taking him naked (ooh lala) with an add. hand weapon, just as a beefed up secondary champion.
