Question how does preferred enemy work against vehicles? - Cookie101 - 18-08-2014
as the titles says I was looking up preferred enemy and cant see how it works against tanks and stuff as the wording of the rule is:
"a unit with at least one model with this rule re-rolls failed hit and wound rolls of 1 if attacking its preferred enemy, applies to both shooting and close combat."
so does this work or not work against stuff with a armour value, as it does not mention it within the rule.
the rule is on page 169 in the big rulebook for those who want to look at it.
I await your feed back.

I personally think that you can't prefer tanks.

Question you need to ask-
Is an Armor Penetration roll a roll To Hit or To Wound?
Answer - No
RAW is that you can re-roll the hits, but can't re-roll the armour pens. Wounds are different to armour pens rolls, so wouldn't get to re-roll the 1's.

Okay, so interesting question for you. Knight Commander Pask's 'Old Grudges' warlord trait that he comes with confers preferred enemy to his squadron I believe. I haven't got my AM codex to hand but I'm sure it's something very close to this.
So RAW, does that mean that his tanks can only re-roll 1's if he's shooting at non-armoured targets only?

He can re-roll the 1's to hit against both, but can only re-roll the 1's to wound against models with wounds.
So against Armour, he re-rolls 1's to hit and thats it.
And against models with wounds, he re-rolls 1's to hit and re-rolls 1's to wound.
To re-roll armour pens, he needs the tank hunter USR or something that specifies you can re-roll armour penetration rolls.
Hopefully that clears it up?
