Emperors Immortals Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 The BRB says that only witchfire powers or there subtypes can be used from a vehicle with a fire point, but I cant find where it says about the subtype Nova. Would we centre it on one of the fire points (which is what id assume) or do we measure it from the outside of the hull? I searched for an answer but cannot find one, and am getting ready for a tournament soon. Thanks.

Dallas Drake Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Novas auto hit irrespective of LOS. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292753-nova-powers-from-a-transport/#findComment-3724603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 But would I measure 6" for Nurgles Rot from the hull of a tankshocking rhino or one of the fire points?

Dallas Drake Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 From the hull I assume? The BRB only has rules for firing beams from transports and they use fire points.

Dallas Drake Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 You can definitely do it, it's just a question of where you measure from. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292753-nova-powers-from-a-transport/#findComment-3724666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Well, the T/O has emailed me saying I can cast Nova from a Rhino measuring from the outer hull. Happy times! :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292753-nova-powers-from-a-transport/#findComment-3724899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaliGn Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I would assume you draw los from the fire points of the vehicle, much as you would for a witch fire, ditto for measurements.

Emperors Immortals Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I would assume you draw los from the fire points of the vehicle, much as you would for a witch fire, ditto for measurements.The problem became whether a Nova power would then hit the tank itself if measured from the FirePoint. This gave us 4 possibilities; 1. Measure from the caster via a firepoint, and this affects the vehicle yo are embarked upon 2. Measure from teh caster via FirePoint, without the Nova affecting the vehicle itself 3. Measure from teh outside hull of the vehicle, pretty awesome 4. Cannot cast Nova powers from inside a vehicle, unlikly as its a subtype of witchfire. Anyway, until theres an FAQ the T/O has decided that "3" is the most appropriate.

Dallas Drake Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 The problem became whether a Nova power would then hit the tank itself if measured from the FirePoint. Are there Novas out there that make this a problem? I'm pretty sure Nurgles Rot can't do anything to AV11?

Iron Father Ferrum Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Shockwave, the Telekinesis nova, is S4, so it could conceivably glance your own Rhino to death. That is, if you can find someone who takes Telekinesis.

Emperors Immortals Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 No, you need a firepoint. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/292753-nova-powers-from-a-transport/#findComment-3736318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
