Murphy'sLawyer Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Am I missing something, or can you not only fire into combats, but you also get a shooting phase if you're IN combat? Shooting seems awfully silly in all honesty. Yep, the Wood Elves are going to have a field day. Well until you come into contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was his point... does not matter if you are in combat, you still get to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah,you can shoot even if locked so if the WE unit is within 3" then yes,it can shoot then pile in and fight in H2H if they want.However most archer units have poor saves so it may actually be a better idea to retreat them and try to get another unit to move up and block out paths to them.

And not too great of attacks either (lots if 5+'s). On the flip side, a shooting attack plus a poor melee attack makes them not too shabby in a fight. Not ideal in most cases, but at least they can cause some pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah... it honestly makes Skeleton Archers potentially better in combat than Skeleton Warriors. You also don't have to even shoot at the unit that you're within 3" of too...
