Shooting a unit of models partially in range

[Eddie Orlock]

So, we circle back and note that all profiles of a combi-weapon comprise one weapon and thus it is possible to be in range of some aspect of a combi-melta while not in range of another, thus vetting range per weapon isn't enough, it must be vetted per weapon profile. In the corner case, the clarification is non-trivial. Thus:

 

... the target unit must have models within range of *that* weapon. ...

It's probably more technically correct to say something like '*that* weapon profile' lest we get into some hinkyness around combi-weapons and whether or not they comprise one weapon or more than one weapon.

 

^It's the combi-weapons where this really gets technical, not the casual flamer in the tactical squad.

If you fire the melta weapon on a combi-melta, you're still firing the melta, and are bound by the profile it uses, which isn't that of the boltgun part, so I don't see the need to split hairs like that.

 

It goes without saying, one would imagine, that you don't magically extend the range of a meltagun by hotgluing a bolter to it.

Rules be rules. Sometimes GW don't write them so good.

 

We all know how this *should* work though. ;)

That's certainly true.

 

At least GW are (slowly) learning.
