NightHowler Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Anyone else notice that fliers start on the table now? Since troops disembark at the start of the turn this still doesn't give them a T1 charge, but it does mean that there's no more paying through the nose for a unit that may not see action for a significant part of the game. Additionally I don't see anything about vehicle facing and shooting, so it sounds like we no longer have to worry about the shape of the Stormwolf preventing us from getting all weapons to shoot the desired target, from the way I read the rules, it seems like I can even shoot all the Stormwolf's weapons at a target directly behind the model since facing no longer matters. Am I reading this wrong? Have I missed something? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334721-flier-changes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgr_maddog Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 I noticed the facing and shooting thing in some battle reports. I was a little skeptical, I don't know why they have spell out pivot, move, no pivot, thing if facing dosen't matter (for shooting or armour).

Weapon and armour facings no longer exist but you still have to track movement if they're 'flying'.

Have I missed something? yes fliers (and all vehicles)can shoot like infantry you no longer need to draw los from the weapon Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/334721-flier-changes/#findComment-4783626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
