This seems like a stupid question, but do stone throwers need line of sight to shoot? I'm pretty sure they do, but I just wanted to check.

Yup.
As far as I remember, *all* Artillery now requires LoS.
Still doesn't TFG Cannon Sniping though, but then there is no real way to prevent people being arses.

Yes - at least one crew member must be able to see who it's trying to shoot at.

The only War machine that doesn't need line of sight that I can think of is that stupid Warp Lightning Cannon the Skaven have. I hate that thing!!

I am a Utah man sir, I live across the green, our gang is the jolliest that you have ever seen, Our co-eds are the fairest, ans each one's a shining star, our yell you'l hear it ringing through the mountains near and far.
Who am I sir? a UTAH MAN am I. A UTAH MAN sir, I will be till I die.
KI-YI
Were up to snuff, we never bluff were game for any fuss, no other gang of college men dare meet us in the MUSS. So fill your lungs and sing it out and shout it to the sky, we'll fight for dear old Crimson for a UTAH MAN AM I!!

Except the WLC does have LOS - it sees through all units and terrain that arent stone

The 7th edition cannon rules actually encourage cannon sniping. GW has even stated that if you can kill a character with a cannon, then props to you.

Stone Thrower has 360 degree los. So the only thing that can stop it is interposing terrain (hill, forest, building).
