Does destroying a building follow the same rules as shooting / destroying a vechicle?

Keep in mind that the rules for Building and Ruins are two separate things.

The rules for Attacking Buildings begin on page 79 of the rulebook.

Ruins cannot be attacked/destroyed (barring special house rules/scenarios).

Yea thats what i meant ruins. wow so you cant destroy em ? thats stupid...

**Steelmage99**

It might be stupid, but it is the rules.

You don't need to destroy ruins - you can target models in ruins as normal.

Buildings can be attacked and destroyed as they prevent you from targeting units inside (like transport vehicles)

If you're a newer group and you're an eldar player then take Dark Reapers +Exarch with Tempest Launcher/Crackshot. 2 AP3 Blasts that reroll to wound and ignore cover

of course the they will learn to counter it, but at least you'll get your kicks for a lil bit.

Just as a addendum from someone who is trying to learn the rules. There are a lot of rules that are stupid from a realism* point of view but actually make a lot of sense from a game balance point of view.

*for a given value of 'realism' where 7 foot tall genetic super humans battle walking talking interstellar traveling fungus
