Morticon Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Can anyone tell me where to find the rules on how to operate the guns that come with the aegis, or on the bastion? Cause im stumped. I just cant find rules to say how the gun is operated. Im assuming its like an artillery piece- but no rules to back that up. Any other thoughts? And can your enemy use them? And if theyre shot at can wounds carry over to who is manning it ?! :) so befuddled.

Cmdr Shepard Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 If your buy the guns as upgrade for the Aegis Line they function as described on pag. 105 namely T7, W2, 3+ armour save model (it has a 4++ cover safe from being behind aegis line) The weapons on the Bastion's roof are somehow more controversial. Some players say they are part of the building, thus they cannot be targeted but destroyed by rolling on buildings damage table, others say they function as above (with a 3++ cover coming from the fortification, of course . EDIT: I forgot to mention how they are operated. In the first case you must have a model in base contact. See pag 105. In the second case it depends on how they are considered. If part of the building you must have a model inside the building, if not they are operated as above. If the weapons are part of the fortifications you bought they can also function via automatic fire (BS2) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/257772-aegis-and-tower-guns-work-how-now/#findComment-3135792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmdr Shepard Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Cheers!! Thanks so much, actually couldnt find where those were located. No problem. I'm glad my info was useful. There is still the debate on the Bastion's "upgrade weapons", though.

Morticon Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Odd that - since the bastions weapons are referred to in the same manner as the aegis "emplacement" etc. I dont foresee it being a problem in circles here - but thanks for the heads up!

Zedrenael Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There is an argument over Emplaced Gun (on Fortification such as Bastion and Tower of Redemption) and Gun Emplacements (such as the Quad Gun with the Aegis or seperate Bastion purchase). In the Tyranid FAQ it says that they cannot use Emplaced Guns but it doesnt say anything about Gun Emplacements which as proven above follow seperate rules.
