I read over the reference section of the 5th edition and when I came to the Ork section, I noted a double asterisk at the bottom which referred to the Zzap Gun with the following; "** See Codex: Orks for more details. Zzap guns do not roll to hit."
This seemed mighty odd to me as I cannot find any reference in the Codex or in the new FAQ which actually supports this. Any input?
Moz:
You: "Hold on, you rammed, that's not a tank shock"
Me: "Ok so what is a ram, lets look at the rules."
Rulebook: "A ram is a special kind of tank shock"
You: "So it's a tank shock until it hits a vehicle, and then it's a ram, not a tank shock, and then it goes back to being a tank shock later!"
Me: "Yeah it doesn't really say any of that in here, how about we just play by what's written in here?"
Hmm, last time I checked the Auto-hit rule for the Zzap Gun was removed. It was auto-hit in the previous codex. I'm not really sure what to say to this lol.
Awesome, I have 3 batteries of them coming out for our apocalypse games!
This may indeed by short lived, and fixed with an FAQ. Then again, it might be they forgot to put the notation in the latest Ork codex, and it's true.
....and lo!.....The Age of Sigmar came to an end when Saint Veetock and his hamster legions smote the false Sigmar and destroyed the bubbleverse and lead the true believers back to the Old World.
The reference lists in the back of the new rulebook seem to have a few typos in them. But the section clearly says that the codex version takes preference so your Zzap guns follow the normal rules in the codex and require a roll 'to hit'.
