Scatter into Combat

The other day I was playing and fired my PCC. It scattered into combat. It ended resting over almot 30 of my Stormvermin and something like 8 Chaos Warriors. My opponent and I were preparing to roll up our wounds when the shopkeeper told us we are supposed to randomize all hits. So we proceeded to divide up the hits, but I am taken back a bit by the split... I ended up only taking like 15 of the hits, with his warriors taking over 20 hits.

While I love random effects, this seems a bit unfair. Furthermore I cannot find any sort or rule to support this. Normally it means I need to look at the FAQ but I don't see anything there either. I'm used to being wrong, but I really like seeing where I'm wrong. Where on earth does the book say to randomize hits when you scatter into combat?? It doesn't seem right in my head. Let's say I scatter into a combat and hit 30 of my models when there is only a couple enemy models in combat. How could I possible hit 2 models 15 times with a single shot of sludge???

My personal conclusion is that either my shopkeeper is recalling an older, no longer in use rule, OR that I just plain suck at researching rules.

AFAIK ... you do not randomise any Skaven shooting except the PW Globadiers.
Templates hit the models it touches, which (to me) makes it far easier and simpler.

Lucky break you got there :D

the shop keeper needs to read the rules on page 9, where it clearly outlines that all models touched by the templet are hit. end of story. Slaves USED to have a rule that forced hits to be randomized but that was faqed out of the game. the ONLY unit that I know of that still randomizes its hits are poisoned wind globadiers.
