Koremu Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 When firing an Infantry model with a Heavy Weapon which has the Skyfire rule, if the Infantry model moves and fires at a Flyer, what BS does it use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Intriguing. Hard to Hit is ignored by the Skyfire rule, so it states "fires using its normal Ballistic Skill when shooting at Flyers..." Heavy Weapons says "If a model carrying a Heavy weapon moved...he can fire it...but only as Snap Shots." Since they are both Advanced rules...which takes precedence...

Koremu Posted July 17, 2012 Author Share Posted July 17, 2012 Intriguing. Oh isn't it though? ;) Does it make a difference if the target is a skimmer, which is also included as being affected/affecting the Skyfire rule? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I can certainly see this being FAQed to the infantry model snap firing, as he is moving and therefore finding it hard to aim etc. RAI that's the ruling, general snap fire takes precedence. But RAW, it's more complicated. I'd even say that the Skyfire rule is more advanced than the snap fire rules for moving and shooting heavy weapons, which seem to be pretty basic to me. It could well be an order of operations determined by the player whose turn it is, or a roll off. Unless you argue that Skyfire allows you to use your unmodified BS skill, and snap fire is a modifier, and so therefore the latter takes precedence?

Grey Mage Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 He ignores hard to hit because its skyfire, but Id say that he then has to seperately deal with the snap firing from moving- and is thus BS1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toasterfree Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 +1 to GM. Sure it has skyfire, so stationary he would fire at BS9000. but he moved, which the snap shot rule would apply so his uber awesome BS would be 1. UNLESS! there was a signum there which he could then be made bs 5. INCONCIEVEABLE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Doesn't seem to be a contradiction. Both rules apply. His 'normal' BS when moving and firing a heavy weapon is 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
