Here are some questions from players on Epic-fr:

- Does elite re-roll allows to re-roll one deviation dice (when your terminators fire at a titan for example) ? If yes, can they re-roll the roll on superheavy table too if they hit a SHT ?

- Does each warhound on the support card containing 2 warhounds count as a single detachment ? I mean, 1 activation to activate both, same orders...

- Glamour of Slaanesh says: "any direct fire Barrage automatically scatter". Does this scattering only concerns artillery barrage (noted @X BP) or any weapon using a template ?

1/ "on any die roll the Elite unit makes" - Any is the key word here :)

2/ I assume you mean the Titan Legion card. It actually says Warhound Scout Detachment, so single detachment, 1 activation for both.

3/ The Glossary says a barrage is "a template weapon that uses a 6cm diameter template". I'm not sure I'm happy with that definition, but it's the one we have. So, any weapon using the 6cm template.

I would suggest the definition of Barrage should really be something like "any weapon that uses a template and has xBP instead of attack dice".

Thanks Zap :)

1/Yes, "any" is the key. I was not sure if they could really reroll "any" dice ;)

2/Yes, it's this card. So it means that even is 2 warhounds (or 2 questors/subjugators) are in the same detachment and do not have to remain in coherency they have to be actived together and have the same orders.

3/"any weapon that uses a template and has xBP instead of attack dice" sounds better for me. Eventually, this may just be placed in the description of the "Glamour of Slaanesh" or holofield for eldar titans.

While we're in the questions, maybe it's historical but why all the standard SMC are Elite ? I do not really understand why they're elite but standard SM are not...

From what I can see, basically all Terminators and Veterans get Elite, along with a few extras like the Mentors and Wolf Guard. This sounds about right to me. I guess you could make the argument that all SMs are elite, but I guess some are just more elite :D

Perhaps we start a "definition of Barrage" thread ?

The Warhound Detachment activation thing: Never, never ever were the two Scout Titan units ever one activation. Never. Not even. They can separate from each other and do not require to stay in formation... and this nonsense about same orders? What? The hell you talking about? My head hurts already guys! My skull is flaming here!
