ValourousHeart Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Not sure if this is in the right section, but as I was playing my sisters at the time, this seems fitting. Ok so the game was Eldar vs Sisters, and I had lots of flamers. The terrain we were using included parts of the old warhammer castle. So we said that the wall sections of the castle were 1 story up and the battlements of the towers were 2 stories. There was a Farseer and Dark Reaper squad on top of the wall section, and Banshee squad in base contact behind the wall. My sisters made it to the base of the wall on the front side and opened fire. I am targeting the Farseer and Dark Reapers but my flamers are long enough to cover the Banshee squad as well. Would the Banshees be hit given the different levels of elevation for the units?

Canadian_F_H Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 I would say yes because promethium is napalm in this case, which is a sticky burning fluid that is sprayed into the template area, it would fall down on models below... However, gw doesn't do sensible things like gravity and pinning tests from mortars anymore... So idk.

sedibear Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 If it works like Blast templates, yes it would. I could almost swear I read something in the rules once about it, but I can't seem to find it.

Fibonacci Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 There are no levels any more. As long as a model is covered by the template, it is hit no matter what level it is on.

Naminé Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Fib has it right, anything under a blast template or flamer template is hit regardless of elevation. Thus ruins in 7th edition can potentially be a deathtrap.

oreaper84 Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Agreed the give and take of cover, however since we are flamer oriented this is a nice buff for us rooting out chincey lil buggers in cover, watch out for the dsythe retaliation though b/c its a 2 way street.

Marshal Mattias Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Is that right? Yet another one of those rule changes that I seem to have missed! Anyone have a page reference for me? I just know my regular Eldar/Tau opponents will want me to prove it to them in our next game :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/306986-quick-rules-questions-regarding-flamers/#findComment-4027752 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naminé Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 You'll have to ask them to show you the part in the rulebook that says it DOESN'T affect all levels. It was there in the last edition but was removed in 7th. Currently the only rule regarding templates is that anything under the marker is hit. Is a model under the marker? It is hit.

Alright, but what if it's a tall multi-story structure and the model in question is above the marker placed in contact with the firing weapon? Is it still hit?

Spacefrisian Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 There was a part about being visible under the template, not sure on that btw.

ValourousHeart Posted May 2, 2015 Author Share Posted May 2, 2015 That is a really good point Eddie. I was on break from the hobby for part of 5th and all of 6th. But before if I couldn't physically touch both the shooting model and the target model with the template I couldn't hit them. But this makes using flamers in confinded spaces very dangerous... as they should be.
