Gaz1858 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Hi guys, THis shouldnt take long but what LOS does a walker have. I seem to remember a dreadnought pic in a rulebook (not sure if its the current one but i couldnt find it) that showed a Dreadnought with a 180 degree arc of fire. essentially to the left and right and straight ahead anything can be targeted. Am i right? If so where in the rulebook is this? The reason i bring it up is i recently played a game where i immobilised my opponents dreadnought. He then tried to target a unit behind him eseentially using the rules for Sponson weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 an immobilised dread has a 90 degree firing arc from the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobman Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think it's 45 degrees actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thantoes Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think it's 45 degrees actually. Sadly I have to agree with this. I was looking at the rule last night and a walkers weapon fires in a 45 degree arc The pic you are remembering came out of the 4th ed rule book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz1858 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Ah ok so each weapon has a 45 degree arc of fire. So an immobilised dread is treated as being unable to swivel its torso and each weapon can fire at that angle. All sound good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greatcrusade08 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 yup yup.. 45 degrees sounds right,, i remembered the diagram and my mind filled in the value.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igotsmeakabob!! Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Aren't (most) walkers on bases? Don't you measure from the base, not the weapon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz1858 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Well LOS for a vehicle is done from the Weapons, are walkers in the same category in this respect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kronk Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Aren't (most) walkers on bases? Don't you measure from the base, not the weapon? Vehicles measure their shots from the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avatar8481 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Don't walkers, (like infantry) have a 360 line of sight? immobilized just means can't move, not that they lose their LoS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 No, they only have 45 degree hull mounted weapons. However, they can spin in the shooting phase to represent their superior agility. When immobilized they cannot spin either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
