Fulminata Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I was perusing through the rulebook today and noticed scouts with sniper rifles no longer hit on a 2+. Where in the 5th Ed. rulebook does it say sniper rifles hit on 2+? I know the sniper rule is on page 31, but it say nothing about hitting on 2+. This changes things if that is true. Thx.

Grey Mage Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 To my knowledge that rule is gone.... dropped like stray penny down the gutter-hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Yeah the hitting on 2+ was a 4th edition thing, it was dropped like a bad habit, although i think grey mage said it better :) In 5th scouts were nerfed with a lower BS/WS and sniper rifles now hit using firers BS.. They still wound on a 4 though which is good for MC's GC08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fulminata Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 That is what I thought. I just lost a game yesterday to a guy who had 2 sniper squads with 8 sniper rifles. He was still rolling to hit with 2+. I am going to have to brak the bad news to him. Thx a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a nerf, just not as big of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPetersson Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 SW can get 1 unit of scouts with camo cloaks... But yeah, they don't count as scoring... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gentlemanloser Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 DA and BA scouts can not get Camo cloaks. And they aren't Scouts either. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
