Okay, I've now heard it twice on two different forums that you can fire into CC (as in the turn you charge) with the giant blow pipes and someone said you could even with the giant bow. EVEN WHILE IN COMBAT not just on the charge. Where is everyone getting this from? it is NOT in the lizardmen book, and I can't possibly think it would be allowed by the new ridden moster rules from 8th. Help People?

No such rule exists in the main book.

Ify ou charge you cannot fire weapons at all.

Ify ou are in combat you may not fire.

I looked this up too. It says in the Lizardman book the Skinks are armed with hand weapons and javelins. If you could use the blowgun/giant bow in CC you wouldn't care what they were armed with, you'd always use those.

And per the BRB, both rider/monster attack who is in base contact with them. And it has already stated you cannot use ranged attacks against anyone in base contact with you.

It also gives instructions on how the enemy can choose to target the models on the Stegadon's back (though not sure how, say, a goblin would ever reach them without ladders), so clearly they are in melee combat.

Thanks guys I thought it sounded highly suspect.
