RastlinD Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I was playing a game last night and we ran across a question. Can a space marine chapter master use his orbital bombardment while in a transport with no fire points. Such as a land raider or a razorback. Thanks, also if you could please provide a page reference in the rules where the answer is found.

OwlandMoonGuy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 In Codex: Space Marines, pg. 52, “Calling down an orbital bombardment otherwise counts as firing a ranged weapon and uses the following profile:” The BRB pg 66 provides the rules for firing ranged weapons from within a Transport, check under the heading, Fire Points. There are several limitations mentioned, first and foremost that a Fire Point is required. Note that Orbital Bombardment is a Barrage weapon so it does not require LoS. Despite that fact, a Fire Point is still required for any/all shooting attacks made from a model embarked in a transport. So the answer no, a Chapter Master cannot fire OB from within a Razorback or Landraider. -OMG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/181630-orbital-bombardment-question/#findComment-2149997 Share on other sites More sharing options...
