Ok... this is a little odd.
For as long as I can recall, my group has played the Stormboyz Rokkit Pack roll-of-one rule as follows:
- Prior to Stormboyz movement - D6 roll
- Roll of 1 = Ork-induced flaming crater for one unfortunate greenskin
- Roll 2D6" + scatter die. Result = small blast template (S3, AP-) where the "Stormboy" ends up
- Jocularity ensues at the Ork's misfortune. Hardest laughing occurs if he landed on friendly troops
Here's the thing... that rule doesn't exist. As far as I have been able to determine, it never has. My group of misfits has ventured into house rules for some of the more common issues (LoS for Wounding, etc), but we almost never delve into the minutia as it just gets too time consuming. In this case, it appears we acted as a hive mind conscience and willed this (IMO, awesomely entertaining) rule into existence.
So my question is this: has the above rule ever existed in this, or similar, form in any GW official publication? To be completely honest, we'll continue to apply the above regardless of the outcome of this discussion... but I am intensely curious to know if it was ever "official".
Thanks in advance.
