MFive Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 in Codex Grey Knights page 53 under Deadshot that the Vindicare Assassin always gets to allocate his wounds, does that mean that you wouldn't be able to LoS them, as it would re-allocate the wound(s) he had done?

JamesI Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 LOS would still be legal just as it is against precision shots. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262362-deadshot-vs-look-out-sir/#findComment-3195503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFive Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 LOS would still be legal just as it is against precision shots. i am sorry, i don't follow Deadshot means the GK player 'always' gets to allocate the wounds delt by a Vindicare Assassin, how would rolling a 6(thus a precision shot) to hit let you LOS if you wouldn't normally(assuming that you don't get one) get LOS?

Sure, the vindicare (or a precision shot) is allocated by the shooter. But LOS is a reallocation.

Zeratul29 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Personally, I think you shouldn't be able to Los! a vindicare's shot, but it doesn't say otherwise, so I"ll let my opponent do it, especially in friendly games, but if i find out they can't Los! from GW then my opponent shall have no mercy :) (mostly in tournaments only, though) :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262362-deadshot-vs-look-out-sir/#findComment-3195567 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 but sense codex>BRB doesn't Deadshot let me always allocate them(hence disallowing LOS as i always get to allocate them)? The rules allow you to allocate. It does not prevent a reallocation from LOS. And it is explicitly allowed for precision shot which is a similar mechanic.

The rules allow you to allocate. It does not prevent a reallocation from LOS. And it is explicitly allowed for precision shot which is a similar mechanic. Agree with JamesI. The player gets to allocate his Deadshot hit. In a mixes Save group (which is the only situation worth discussing), LO,S! occurs after allocation. So you always get to allocate Deadshots, and then your opponent gets to LO,S! the shot.

Reclusiarch Darius Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It's the stupidest gimp to the Vindicare in 6th edition. It basically turns him into an expensive long-range meltagun. I've swapped out mine for a PsyDread nowadays. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262362-deadshot-vs-look-out-sir/#findComment-3196076 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeratul29 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I personally agree that the best marksmen out there should not be able to get Los! against.... it really weakens the vindicare in anticharacter shooting, almost to the point of not shooting characters at all Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262362-deadshot-vs-look-out-sir/#findComment-3196871 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yup. By mechanics you allocate the Vindicare's dead shot, then the LO,S! applies. Really messes with the head-busting usefulness of the Vindicare, to some extent for now. You can still dead shot those pesky heavy/special troopers in a unit though. Maybe someone at GW will notice this for a future errata/FAQ and make adjustment for him - but I'll not hold my breath....
