5th edition 40k Trivia

[timmytool]

Yes, it's only if the facing you're in is 50% obscured.

bonus points for the second yes scenario.....(asumming 50% was the facing)

[Chapter Master Ignis Domus]

Hmmm, well there's the 3+ save if you can't see the same facing, but that's the wrong direction. I'll have to look it up.

[timmytool]

Ok, I have one, hehe...

 

Question 6 (?)8

 

My Razorback suffers a weapon destroyed result. Are both the Lascannon and the Plasma Gun destroyed?

 

Difficulty, Dunno, maybe 4/5, as it has been FaQed in 2 different places, but only ONE applies. Your opponent may not realize this.

 

only one as they are no longer co-axle weapons in 5th ed

[Chapter Master Ignis Domus]

Ok, I have a Razorback and a Grot is standing right next to it on the side. Can I shoot it?

[timmytool]

Question 9

 

Ok, I have a Razorback and a Grot is standing right next to it on the side. Can I shoot it?

if a line of sight can be drawn to it(from the weapon) yes if not no. it is all based of of los taking weapon arc of fire(arc of fire is limited by the tank itself) into account.

[Abyssel]

Going back on the rule about disembarking from a rhino.

 

This is a cheesy move and will be shunned apon but you can do it.

 

"When the unit disembarks, each model is deployed within 2" of one of the vehicle access points, and within unit coherency." rule book page 67.

the pic specifically shows a marine outside of said 2", but his base is within the 2" by touching it. now the access point on a rhino are the doors. if you measure from the corners of the doors, which are the access points, you can reach infront of the rhino between the crew cab and tread easily enough to put a base and thus be within 2" of the door.

Question 9 (??)

 

A whirlwind is out in the open, hasn't moved and chooses to shoot with indirect fire, ordenance barrage.

 

Does it subtract is WS from the scatter dice?

 

Difficulty: 2/5

Question 9 (??)

 

A whirlwind is out in the open, hasn't moved and chooses to shoot with indirect fire, ordenance barrage.

 

Does it subtract is WS from the scatter dice?

 

Difficulty: 2/5

 

No, it cannot, as units shooting indirect fire weapons cannot subtract their WS from scatter rolls, BRB pages 32 and 58.

 

 

 

OK then, question 10?

 

Difficulty 4/5

 

A unit is in a ruin, with three models on the ground floor, and four on the first floor. I fire a frag missile at the four on the first floor, and roll scatter. After moving the blast template, I can see that while it doesn't land on or cover the guys on the first floor, it covers the guys on the ground floor. Do I get the hits on them?

Incorrect, a unit never counts as an interposing model when shooting through itself.

Difficulty: 2/5

 

No, it cannot, as units shooting indirect fire weapons cannot subtract their WS from scatter rolls, BRB pages 32 and 58.

 

Actually, yes you can! To subtract the WS you need LOS, nothing else. I learned this the hard way with a Manticore ;) Don't have the page, but its on an even number page, top right.

 

 

OK then, question 10?

 

Difficulty 4/5

No, because you targetted the first floor, so if you miss, it doesn't matter whether you hit anybody at another level, you don't score hits.

actually the answer is you never subtract WS when firing a blast template regardless of LOS, Indirect, direct, etc...you would only ever subtract BS, besides which a Whilwind has no WS. :P

[Tanhausen]

I stand corrected: BS, not WS :)

 

But the answer is the same: you do substract your BS if you have LOS, regardless of the shooting "mode".

[DarkGuard]

OK then, another question, difficulty 2-3/5

 

My squadron of Land Speeders get hit by two krak missiles, one fails to do anything, the other pens and immobilizes a Speeder. I put a Speeder on the floor, still alive, and move the other Speeder on in my turn. Was I right to do so?

[Chapter Master Ignis Domus]

No and yes. The immobilised speeder was destroyed(wrecked), due to the squadron rules, freeing the other one to move as it wishes.

[DarkGuard]

No and yes. The immobilised speeder was destroyed(wrecked), due to the squadron rules, freeing the other one to move as it wishes.

 

Correct, feel free to ask a question :).

[christheodorou]

Got a quick one for you guys its been driving me nuts,

 

In a game where the mission is seize ground can a troops unit below 50% ie just 1 model left still hold a marker, also if there is a tank within 3' of said marker does it contest the marker??

 

answers on a postcard

[JamesI]

The 50% requirement was removed in 5th edition, so yes, just one guy left can controll.

 

Tanks can contest.

[Tanhausen]

James, you know the trivia rules...page? ^_^

 

As for units under 50%... I'd say SM bikes have to be in an X model count to score...

[timmytool]

Question 13?

 

d 3/5

 

An open topped shaken tank moves 12" during its movement, inside are 2 HW's 2 assault weapons and 7 rapid fire weapons. what mode do each weapon fire with.

[JamesI]

Sorry, its difficult for me to post questions while I'm away from my rulebook.

 

Also, the question I answered seemed more like a request for help than an actual trivia question.

[breng77]

I'm pretty sure that SM bikes just need to be 5 models or more to be purchased as troops, once they are troops killing them below 5 models does not remove them as troops.

[JamesI]

This is correct.

[DarkGuard]

Question 13?

 

d 3/5

 

An open topped shaken tank moves 12" during its movement, inside are 2 HW's 2 assault weapons and 7 rapid fire weapons. what mode do each weapon fire with.

 

They don't. Passengers cannot fire any weapons at all if you move at cruising speed or greater. Neither can they fire any weapons if the vehicle has been shaken.

 

 

Question 14:

 

Difficulty 1/5

 

My Tactical squad with meltagun and plasma cannon is sitting in cover. I roll two dice to move them forward through cover, rolling two ones, and so I elect not to move them. In the shooting phase can I fire my plasma cannon?

[breng77]

No, Once you roll for difficult terrain you count as moving.

[DarkGuard]

No, Once you roll for difficult terrain you count as moving.

 

That is indeed correct :cuss.
