What is the firing angleof the Flamestorm cannons on a Redeemer? Is it 180 degrees or 90 or something else, and what is the firing arc of the Assault cannons on the front?

The firing angle is 180, the assault cannon is on a turret so it has 360, so long as it can see the target.

if you assembled your LRR correctly then all said weapons should be able to rotate freely in their mounts.


if you can point the gun at a target then its in firing range.



in practice, the Flamestorm cannons can rotate a little over 90 degrees in their mountings.


the assault cannon, being off center, has a greater field to the right side then the left, but its about 130 degrees.

It's more than 180 degree actually, as the sponsons can turn inwards somewhat. The assault cannon turret can shoot whatever its pointing at, but it can't turn 360 as it would be blocked by the land raider's hull. It is hindered mostly on the left side though, so it can shoot further right than left.

Here's a sketchy LOS image with sponsons at the back, if the sponsons are at the front (like most Redeemers and Crusaders have) it can shoot something closer to the front, but loses LOS at the back.

But basically, if you can point at it, you can shoot at it.

The flamestorms can rotate much further than 90 degrees. Closer to 200 degrees.

OP, see the sponson arc of sight diagram in the rulebook - that'll give you the idea.

Thanks eveyone, this has been very helpful

it depends.

my Hurricane Bolters can only rotate about 100 degrees.


I don't have a Redeemer so i don't know how its sponsons rotate.


my regular LRs Lascannons rotate all the way around though.

Old crusader? The new ones rotate much more. The flamestorms rotate all the way around.
