Borinar Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Is there a Scenario, Angle, or Range at which a Land Raider can fire Both its Lascannons at a target? Or is it only one?

Silent Shadow Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 If both Lascannons can see the target you wish to shoot at and it's within 48" and if the Land Raider didn't move that turn then it can fire both its Lascannons.

Cyber_Wulf Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 just draw a line from each lascannon individually. if u can hit the target without going over ur own hull then u can shoot that lascannon. bear in mind that tanks are usually quite a large target so unless your facing side on you will likely always get both lascannons to fire. and if u ever fire at a squad of men then u can just aim at guys on the opposite ends of the squad.

Captain Malachi Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 It's only single models like a captain that you might have trouble targetting, and only if he's straight ahead, so you should be ok for the most part.

Praeger Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Or there is my old favourite - move 6" and fire everything - defensive H-Bolters, 1 normal twin-linked las, 1 machne spirit las :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139106-land-raider-power/#findComment-1606546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
werewolf_nr Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The main rulebook diagrams show the sponson weapons being able to shoot from their maximum depression, regardless of going thru the hull, basically giving both sponsons a shadow immediately in front of and behind your tank with overlapping field of fire a foot or so away. I don't have the book on me to give you the page number tho. The picture was using a predator as an example. just draw a line from each lascannon individually. if u can hit the target without going over ur own hull then u can shoot that lascannon. bear in mind that tanks are usually quite a large target so unless your facing side on you will likely always get both lascannons to fire. and if u ever fire at a squad of men then u can just aim at guys on the opposite ends of the squad.

Custodian Athiair Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 2 things 1 has anyone noticed that with a crusader you can move 6" and then still shoot all of your weapons (excluding the multi-melta) and 2nd what happens if only 1 of the twinlinked lascannons can see what i mean if you have say the left twin-linked lascannon and you try to shoot at something with it what happens if only of those lascannons can see the target and the other hits your hull (do you lose the twin-linked)? thanks Athiair :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/139106-land-raider-power/#findComment-1654780 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nighthawks Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 check from the mount - to me this is the pivot topped by the "optics" pod above the sponson. if only one can see, I'd say fair game.

Blackraine Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 You can actually shoot all of the weapons on a Crusader, thanks to Power of the Machine Spirit (which should probably be used on the twin-linked assault cannon, of course). What I'm interested in is whether this new Land Raider varient with the heavy flamer side sponsons will have a special exception to movement... seems counter-intuitive for an assault tank to be unable to move and fire, I think. Of course, I always thought the defensive weapons rule should apply to all non-heavy weapons as well as all heavy weapons strength 5 or less... the idea that a heavy bolter is not a "defensive weapon" for a vehicle seems kind of counter-intuitive, considering it's much less offensive than most primary vehicle mounted weapons. But I didn't write the rules, and I guess they had a reason for what they chose as "defensive" weapons.

nighthawks Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 well, reason or not, "them's the rules." either way, the new PotMS is supposed to be better, we'll just have to wait and see.
