Only the chariot carrying the magical standard gains from its benefits. The chariot with the standard is the only chariot that gets to include its bonus in its combat resolution. If a single chariot in the unit is involved in combat, the other chariots in the unit can still move freely. If a champion/leader is in the unit, all chariots may use his leadership value.

For something where you randomly determine hit location, and the die roll determines that you hit a location that is already destroyed onthe chariot, do you re-roll the die?URL Copied!
Yes.

Are template hits on chariots randomized?URL Copied!
No.
House Rule: For stone throwers/Doom Divers/mortars only a single figure can be hit by the center of the template. Therefore, if the center of the template lies on top of 2 figures (such as a rider for a chariot and the chariot) the topmost of the 2 figures receives the automatic hit (at the higher strength) and the bottom figure has the potential to be hit (just as other figures under the template, but not under the center of the template).
Therefore, if the center of the template is on the rider and the vehicle from the list above, the rider would get the automatic hit, and the chariot gets a potential hit. The only exception to this is the Skaven Doomwheel in which case the wheel would get the automatic hit and the engineer the potential hit.

A cannonball passes through a chariot model, does the cannonball hit the chariot models it passes over, or does it cause 1 hit that is randomized, or does it cause multiple hits that are randomized (1 hit for every piece of the chariot it passes over)?URL Copied!
The cannonball hits are not randomized. Whatever part of the chariot the cannonball passes over is hit.

Does a chariot champion get a 'Look Out Sir!' roll?URL Copied!
Yes, but note that there must be another model in the same chariot as the character (i.e. High Elf champions won't benefit, as they ride alone).

Can the crew of the chariot fight any models in base to base contact with the chariot?URL Copied!

When a chariot charges, are the casualties inflicted taken from the front rank as usual? If so, how are casualties worked out if, say, there are two regular troopers and two characters in the front line? Must the charioteer nominate ahead of time how many attacks are going against which models?URL Copied!
Casualties are taken out of rank and file troopers unless there are not rank and file troopers left. All casualties are taken out of the front rank first, then latter ranks. Remaining troops fill ranks.
