quick psychic power question

[jjfelber]

Please let me know if these statements are correct.

 

1. Our rhinos have 1 firing point.

2. A psychic shooting attack must have line of sight, so to use say LL you would have to use it from the Firing Point.

3. If you have a rune priest (shooting attack) and a plasma gun/meltagun in a rhino you can only shoot one or the other.

4. You can only shoot if your rhino travels normal speed, 6 inches, or slower.

 

 

 

Can you shoot the Rhino's bolter and one other shot?

So if you just have just GHs with bolters in the rhino you can take 2 bolter shots, one from the firing point and one from the rhino.

[Sarapham]

1. Two firing points actually.

 

2. Yes

 

3. No, see #1

 

4. Yes

 

The Rhino has a storm bolter, which means it will fire 2 shots, plus two people can fire from inside the rhino.

[jjfelber]

So if I move 6 and have 2 plasma guns in the rhino can I shoot can I shoot 2 plasma guns and 1 stormbolter

 

so 2 Str7 and 2 Str4

 

Can I rapid fire the Plasmas if I move the rhino 6"?

 

so 4 Str7 and 2 Str4?

 

Or is it only if the rhino doesnt move that I can shoot rapid fire?

[Sarapham]

No the second to last is correct, 4 Str7 and 2 Str4.. you can rapidfire from within the rhino.

[jjfelber]

Can you always rapid Fire from a rhino, even if the rhino moves 6?

[Sarapham]

Can you always rapid Fire from a rhino, even if the rhino moves 6?

 

 

Yes, it counts as if you were just moving normally.

[Grimtooth]

Read the rules for firing from vehicles. Units embarked count as moving when the vehicle moves. So no heavy weapons or firing 24" with rapid fire weapons if the vehicle has moved.

[slmellon]

Would the vehicle movement effect the shooters at all? They are not technically moving they are riding inside something that is moving. They dont have to disembark to shoot the two weapons so shouldnt they be able to fire even if it moved 12"?

[DapperDave]

Brother Ramses got it right - it's perhaps better to think of it as: if the vehicle moves you can only rapid fire. Also, obviously, you can't assault after firing a RF weapon out of a vehicle.

"Technically", they are moving according to the rules. They can still fire if they moved 12" (though not heavy weapons, obviously). You do still have the option of disembarking and rapid firing if you want.

Yes what I meant was that you can always fire 2 shots at 12"... I still have the old terms for rapid fire in my head so apologies if that came out sounding wrong.

The bad thing is i just reread the rules section two days ago

[jjfelber]

My buddy doesn't think my rhino has 2 fire points.

Its says in Army builder that rhinos only have 1 FP.

 

Where can I find in writing that our Rhinos have 2 FPs?

 

If my memory recalls, is says nothing about Fire points in our Codex.

Check the first sentance under the heading "Fire points" on page 40 of the Space Wolf Codex.

 

Codex trumps AB every time.
