HappyJew : While we understand the context, that Errata did not address the Emptying of the Wound Pool with no LOS. The same "allocation" rules can apply to Impaler cannon. In theory you have permission to allocate 0 wounds to a unit out of LOS with any one of those type of weapons.

Rigeld2: Everyone is arguing how SL should fit because of LOS, rather than accepting it doesnt fall into the clear cut rules.

PrinceRaven: Personally I would love that, but if they are playtesting now by rumormill, Nidvember definitely is not gonna happen

Just throwing my 50cents in here, but. Its quite telling that the rule for Impaler Cannon f.eks, says "can shoot" about LOS. It does not specify to hit or wound, so would suggest that it counts for the shoot. I.e the shooting fase. RAW here does not seem clear since I assume every single person here have different take on what "can shoot" implies. The rule book also states that special rules supersedes normal rules, or did I dream that?

This to me makes it a question of what does RAW mean with "shoot".

Ignore this, irrelevant, read wrong time stamps

If Spirit Leach is not a shooting attack then wound allocation on page 15, and the LoS restriction on page 16 do not apply. These wound allocation rules only apply to shooting attacks. Spirit Leach has no wound allocation rules, in a situation like that we are in RAI territory. I'd say use random allocation but there is no prefect answer to this yet.
