Hey guys, sorry if this is a dumb question. Came up yesterday.

Orks Vs. Grey knights. His HQ can use an orbital strike ordinance to anyone he has line of sight on.

I have a group of Killa Kans and A Deff Dred standing between them. We looked from true line of sight, and the kans were completely blocking any vision of the Boyz behind them, yet if the kans weren't there, there was a perfectly strait line to the group and he would've had LoS.

Could he fire the ordiance?

Sorry if it's an obvious question, but it pretty much boils down to, does my cluster of Kans block LoS to other groups?

Its a barrage weapon so yes.Barrage ignores LoS but scatters a full 2D6,but the Orb strike does this anyway,so no loss.

OSR /= Barrage. Check the codex....

He can only shoot what is in his LOS, meaning if, when you look, he cannot see the boyz then he cannot fire the OSR at them. He can fire at the Kans, hoping for a favourable scatter, but thats it.

Thanks for the super fast reply.

That's what I thought, but wasn't entierly sure, so we ask Dakka.
