1) Telion

The scout sergeant can take a teleport homer, Telion replaces the Scout Sergeant. So a scout squad with Telion can never have a teleport homer?

2) Techmarine

Does a techmarine with 4 servitors with servo-arm automatically pass his "Blessing of the Omnissiah" roll? I could not find anything, that a roll of 1 is an automatic miss in this case.

Greetings

That is correct.

A roll of 1 is always a miss! So a techmarine with 4 servitors doesn't pass his "Blessing of the Omnissiah" rollautomatically. Best roll is always 2+ ;)
I fear no evil. I fear no death. For the Emperor will protect me.

Tyranid War Veterans aren't anything in particular, they're just sprinkled throughout the company like oregano, adding an additional spice to the meatballs already there.

1) Tellion cannot take a teleport homer, his gear is fixed and he has no options. (as far as i know)

2) This is tricky because of the way it is worded. Servitors technically do not lower your target number, they raise your dice roll. You always need a 5+ but each servitor adds 1 to your roll. So if you rolled a 1 and had four servitors, it would be 1+4 = 5.
In my opinion that would still be a success.

Not quite, a roll To Hit (pg.13), to Wound (pg.14), Saves (pg.19) and a reserve roll (pg.124) all fail on a roll of 1.

The Blessing of the Omnissiah is none of these.
A roll of one does not 'always' fail, turn to page 7 in a characteristic test

...a dice roll of one is always a success.


The 'one always fails' only applies to certain rules, Blessing is not one of them.

Do you use the number on the bottom of the die to determine your rolls? because the book doesn't discuss that the top is the correct side to read, either. some things are just THAT obvious.

I agree with this.

I love Tau in CC, it's like clubbing baby seals, only tau are neither cute nor fluffy or protected by the Maritime Mammal Act..... so it's perfectly legal and the Sierra Club ASPCA nuts won't come looking for you!

For the regular Guardsman you've got Commissars holding guns to their backs. They're faithful in their own way, sometimes mightily so, but they are regular folks who've led regular lives, with the completely understandable desire to continue living that causes them to duck when they get shot at. Sisters are orphans raised in perpetual Sunday school, fanatical to the point that they look at Repentia and feel a twinge of jealousy that those girls will see the Emperor sooner than they will.

Same here, it's only a "1 always fails" if it says so.
