Polythemus Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hi Tough defeat last night versus orks. Was using ravenwing. This was really annoying. So if you target a unit with a blast and the blast scattters onto a new unit, that unit cant jink?! Also if a unit is targeted under a blast and the blast extends to other models in another unit the unit is considered not to have been targeted and therefore cant jink?! Please tell me this interpretation is as wrong as I want it to be.

PureFodder Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 The rules for shooting only let you target a single unit (see page 30). You can only jink if you were the target of a shooting attack (page 167). As a result only one unit can ever jink against a shooting attack, even if if hits multiple units.

Ozshock Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 and you have to jink before any to hit rolls are made and you cant Jink on models that werent the original target of the shooting attack...the rule says that only the target unit can decide to jink, before rolling to hit Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/293928-jink-vs-scattered-blast-markers/#findComment-3749212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Locally, we ruled it such that you are allowed to jink if you are under a blast marker before it scatters, and you are allowed to jink if a blast scatters upon a unit that was not affected before the scatter. But RAW only the target unit is allowed to jink, and if the blast scatters on a new unit it can't jink either. Just seems very silly to us..

netminder69 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 I dunno, it makes sense to me in a faux realism vs. game rules way. Jink is a response to an attack coming your way. If it wasn't coming your way to begin with, you aren't anticipating it to jink.

If it wasn't coming your way to begin with, you aren't anticipating it to jink.The thing is, the attack is coming your way, even though it was not the shooters intention to send it your way.

Raeven Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Yea, but who bothers to dodge? The guy who sees the barrel aimed his way or the guy off to the side who sees the barrel aimed at his buddy?

Quixus Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 The blast rules do not specify whether the scattering occurs in flight or is due to false aiming. So the barrel might indeed be aimed at a unit other than the targeted one. Targeting by the ruels is just a declaration not an adjustment of the orientation of the weapon.

Ming Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 If a direct blast weapon scatters from a forward unit to a unit "behind it" the "behind" unit may qualify for a 5+ Cover save from the first unit, depending on Line of Sight from the shooter. Does not work for indirect or "ignore cover" weapons.
