a-nesuto Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 1. if you use a unique character and his chapter tactics do you keep his chapter tactics if he dies? cove questions 2. can a unit choose not to fire all weapons to denie a unit a cover save? i mean like a unit of 10 space marines hiding deep in area terrain but leaving a missile launcher in the open(just in or out of the terrain). would the unit the missile launcher shoots at get a cover save?

Legatus Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 1. Yes. "Chapter Tactics" are not affecting units on the table if the special character is present. It affects your army if it includes that character. If the character dies during the game, it is still the same army. 2. Only the firing models matter when it is determined whether the target unit is in cover. So if only the Missile Launcher is firing and has a clear view of the target unit, then the target unit does not get a cover save.

Im actually not sure on this myself, so please correct if im wrong...but... Yes, only the firing models matter, but is it not all the firing models that you take into account?

Legatus Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Yes, only the firing models matter, but is it not all the firing models that you take into account? Yes, and if you chose to fire only with the missile launcher, than that missile launcher guy will be all the firing models.

Scott-S6 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Also, when firing at vehicles, only weapons which are capable of damaging it are counted. (you can't fire a load of bolters in the open against a land raider so that the "majority" of firers have an un-obscured target) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160277-a-few-questions/#findComment-1881256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prodigy Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 scott-S6, you make sense, and you are probably correct, but where does it say that in the rulebook?
