Wulfebane Posted November 25, 2012 Share Posted November 25, 2012 So, I played a game last week and tried to snipe out a chaplain from a squad. My opponent proceeded to make his saves, and failed quite a bit, however, he rolled for other members of his squad and NOT for his chaplain. I asked why*. His reason was that in 6e, templates can only target the exact model they strike if its a bombardment or some such... I didn't contest it b/c I didn't care - I wiped out more than 8 SM models with one JotWW cast, so I was happy - but I still want to know if sniping has been eliminated in 6e? * - Disclaimer, I don't game much.. mostly I work and when I don't, I paint.. so I'm usually always fuzzy on rule application in the heat of the moment.

He was lying or just wrong. JotWW is not a template first of all and it has no problems sniping out specific models in a unit.

Well, that was my understanding regarding sniping in 5th, though I believe it was debated here once before that JotWW IS a template of a hairline width and 24" length. Happily proven wrong for the sake of sniping, but just figure I'd get a clear yay or nay.

Brom MKIV Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 jotww is not a template or a beam and can snipe specific models. Support: Q: Does Jaws of the World Wolf allow the Rune Priest to target specificmodels within squads? (p37) A: Yes. Q: Is the Jaws of the World Wolf psychic power a beam?(p37)A: No. And from the BGB regarding Look Out, Sir: "when a Wound is allocated to one of your characters, and there is another model from the same unit within 6", hes allowed a Look Out, Sir attempt." jotww does not allocate anything, models touched simply take a test or get removed therefore no LO,S. Makes for one sad cron overlord eh. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266544-jotww-and-sniping/#findComment-3246712 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Oh riiight.. yeah, he said something about how Beam weapons changed the rules.. I wonder what he was referring to.... Yup, probably not a cheater but definitely doesn't know what he's talking about. If you have a capable phone, get a copy of the the FAQ on there or you can just print up a copy should it ever be an issue again.

Ghostwolfalpha Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Jaws of the World Wolf is just as brutal as it seems. All the armies I regularly play have a 3 or lower Initiative and it has lead to very staggered formations. Claiming IC's with 3+ wounds is one of the most gratifying things I have done with a RP. I feet bad, but it feels so good. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/266544-jotww-and-sniping/#findComment-3246787 Share on other sites More sharing options...
