Hey.

was playing a SW player the other day and he was using Njal.
1 of the stages ( i cant remember with one) is a shooting attack that has a very high str. does like 1 d6 shots i think.

Now i was locked in CC with njal and the unit he had joined with my trygon and my friend ( SW player) shot at y trygon with the power. now we looked in the codex and in there it really does not state anywhere that it cannot target an engaged model.

ON all the other stages of the power it says unengaged model but not on this one.

so we just went with it and let him shoot my trygon who survived. Just wanted to know if we did this right.

cheers Ogard

Living Lightning is a PSA. As a PSA, it has to follow all the normal rules of shooting, including not being able to target a model locked in CC.

Hes talking about Njals Lord of Tempest, NOT living lightning, since they specified Njal.

From memory the power specifies all unengaged units, NOT every unit. Cant find the codex right now though...

Doh! Good catch!

Howling Cyclone (result of 5) and Chain Lightning (result of 7+) specifies unengaged.

Vengeful Tornado (result of 6) says "At the end of Njal's Shooting phase, a model within 18" is ravaged by a tornado taking D3 S9 hits." That should effect any enemy model, even if it's engaged in CC.
