Stormbrow II Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Murderous Hurricane in the SW FAQ says that 'a targeted unit is affected by Murderous Hurricane even if the power fails to hit or wound.' Does that mean that if I'm out of range with the power the unit is still in Dangerous Terrain? I cast it at unit of Land Speeders but they're 40" away. I've missed but they're still in Dangerous Terrain for next turn. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/205596-murderous-hurricane-q/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkenheim Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 no. the unit has to be within 18" to be affected. There is a difference between not wounding and not being in range. Not wounding means the storm didn't kill anyone with the hailstone etc, not being in range means the storm is too far away from them to worry them.

Coverfire Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Just a point to make, Murderous Hurricane inflict 3D6 Hits... so you do not have to roll to hit, just wound.

Stormbrow II Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 not being in range So I miss right? As another person said: The key word here is target. Once I determine my target as per the los rules, I then move on to range, I automatically miss, so I don't roll the 3D6 S3 AP- shots, but the targeted unit must treat all clear terrain, as both difficult and dangerous. Clearly the idea behind the rule in the FAQ should have mentioned failed to reach, but it doesn't. Just wondering as I have a tourney coming up and I'm wondering whether to take Jaws or this, but if this is correct it makes this spell mental.

Maximus-92 Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 "Q. Does Murderous Hurricane require the power to hit or wound its target to affect them? A. No, a targeted unit is affected by Murderous Hurricane even if the power fails to hit or wound." This is the exact quote from the faq. A unit may only be affected if it is within 18". The power is described as a psychic shooting attack and thus must have a range. If you are out of range then the power will take no effect. The thing that gets me about this power is whether or not you are supposed to roll to hit. The codex description states "the target unit takes 3D6 strength 3 hits" This would imply no rolling to hit but i have had a hard time convincing some people of this. Just wondering as I have a tourney coming up and I'm wondering whether to take Jaws or this, but if this is correct it makes this spell mental. As for the usefullness of the power i would defiinatley recomend it. i run either murderous hurricane or living lightning with jaws. Depends how close i wannt the priest to get.

Grey Mage Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 Since the power fails automatically when found to be out of range I really cant condone the interpretation that it would still effect anything. The winds dont penetrate armor? Cool, it still sucks to be you. The winds dont even get to me this round? I dont really care then.

Stormbrow II Posted July 3, 2010 Author Share Posted July 3, 2010 And get the Space Wolves FAQ. it will help you out alot. Eh, no. Its whats causing the confusion in the first place. Since the power fails automatically when found to be out of range I really cant condone the interpretation that it would still effect anything. Es grande. We have a TO looking for answers to FAQ and this came up so we figured we'd nip it in the bud before it became a problem.
