Raeven Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 On pg. 80 under Hover 'Type' it says, "If a Flyer is hovering, it is treated exactly as a Fast Skimmer." This gives it the agility of a skimmer with the weapon firing restrictions of a skimmer. Since Skimmer's don't have Skyfire, does the Flyer lose Skyfire in hover mode? My LGS plays it that we do. What do you guys think? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271787-flyers-hover-mode-and-skyfire/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think? Yes. Fast Skimmers do not have Skyfire. Hovering Flyers are treated exactly as Fast Skimmers. And you thought the Monstrous Creatures counting as Jump Infantry quandry had been solved... ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271787-flyers-hover-mode-and-skyfire/#findComment-3312768 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Mage Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hurrah, a simple answer. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271787-flyers-hover-mode-and-skyfire/#findComment-3312980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkGuard Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hurrah, a simple answer. Gained by reading the FAQs! That I linked into the stickied thread! So the moral of the story, is check the FAQs which DarkGuard kindly links into the stickied thread. If the new ones aren't there, PM him and tell him he has to stick them in. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/271787-flyers-hover-mode-and-skyfire/#findComment-3313465 Share on other sites More sharing options...
