Guest Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Are they barrage weapons, or do they just remove models as if barrage weapons? I know they still haven't addressed the Vortex Aquilla Strongpoint, as it's missiles just point straight up and don't really draw LOS to anything (maybe it's suppose to deploy vertically.... ). For precedence, are there any vortex weapons that also have the barrage rule? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Okay, maybe this is a better one, how do missiles draw LOS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted June 28, 2014 Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Still looking for an answer as well... Seems that with all the Faq hoopla they still didn't address this one;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Lol...found the answer. Plain as day in the Vortex Weapons special rule. A weapon with this special rule is a Destroyer weapon and uses a blast marker of sometype (e.g. blast, large blast, massive blast, etc). Place the appropriate marker, roll forscatter and apply damage. For determining Wound allocation, always assume the shot iscoming from the centre of the marker, in the same manner as a Barrage weapon. LOS isn't used at all because the rules are painfully simple for this weapon type. Just place the marker and scatter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threejacks Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 So then I assume that BS can never be used to reduce scatter distance as theres no way to trace LoS from the missile tips in cases were the target would otherwise be in LoS.. Fair enough:) Gotta work up some goofball list with the Aquila Vortex missiles then...see how many discs of death I can get floating around on the table 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappy Posted July 9, 2014 Report Share Posted July 9, 2014 see how many discs of death I can get floating around on the table I heartily approve of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds reasonable. Can't snap shoot either, being a blast weapon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
