Umoja Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Friend and I were playing (Me dark angels, him 'nids) and in the middle we had some units locked in assault, and on either side of the assault he had a squad of genestealers and i had a squad of tactical marines (not locked in assault). Question is could my tactical shoot over the assault into his genestealers? I thought i read somewhere that i could but they have a cover save...but im not sure and we did a quick look in the rulebook and couldnt find anything.

fallynnknivez Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I do believe you are correct, unless i am mistaken as well. As long as you can draw a line of sight, and see them, then intervening models both friendly and foe alike confer a cover a save. As per pg. 21's cover chart under 4+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 you can fire, but they get a 4+cover save, unless you have absolutly no LOS, but that is very unlikely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yep Frosty has it right. The assaulting brawl would confer an intervening cover save to the targeted unit beyond. [p21 BRB]. Cheers I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglez Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 hmmm, I always thought that combats of the same size of model as the shooter blocked los automatically, must be a throwback to 4th edition or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umoja Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Yea that was kind of the debate, my friend is used to the old 3rd/4th edition where i guess you couldn't shoot through an assaulting unit, but they must have changed the rules with 5th i spose?

That is correct. This restriction changed when we went to the "True Line of Sight" mechanic. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
