couple of things or questions really as dont have my book to hand, with the heamonculas in the squad of incubi you dont get your fleet re roll as he dont have fleet?

i have not been re rolling splinter cannon shots with the splinter racks as i read somewhere that they not included?

combat drugs im sure you only roll once and apply result for entire armythought i heard you say that you rolled for both wyches and archon?

fantasic battle though, well done

Correct, the unit would lose fleet (as every model in the unit needs fleet in order to benefit).

Correct, splinter racks only affect splinter rifles and splinter pistols, its says so specifically in the rules for splinter racks.

Correct, you roll once for the entire army, and apply the result to all models with drugs.

Whoops. Still getting used to the current codex.

Should have known about the Harmon not having fleet, but you can hear my opponent say they were in after the first roll anyway so luckily no harm done. As for combat drugs, in the old codex it was per unit, I hadn't noticed it had changed. they both rolled same in this game anyway fortunately. Seems better to have it army wide though as its less to remember.

That's a shame about the splinter racks. It doesn't really make much sense as they all use the same ammo but never mind.

Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed it

Yeah splinter racks not working with splinter cannons is one of the chagrins of the codex.
