This is was a while ago, but it still bugs me. I was facing another dwarf player, he was an "ok" guy but he seemed to try to play with the rules a bit. But I wasn't sure and I'm still not. He fired his cannon at my unit, my runesmith being at the front of the unit (5 wide, 6 deep) he then drew a st8 line right over my front rank and said "I hit your hero, wounding on 2's, he rolled a one so he didn't kill my hero, but I said, wait a min, you cant hit my hero, he's in a unit I can just put it on to another guy, he said no its your hero see, and flicks his pointy thing to show me that the line is drawn over my hero so that means my hero gets hit, and I said fine I don't want to argue (I'm still new to the rules), but I said "but he does get a look out sir, he said "No, your hero gets hit..." does the same thing with his red stick................

So could have he killed my hero while he was inside the unit or not? cause I'm not sure on this.

Cheers

He gets a look out sir. Its pretty clear in the BRB. The cannon acts as a template, and provided a character is in a unit with at least 5 rank and file models (champion not included) of the same unit type, that character may take Look Out Sir saves against hits taken from templates.

Which means that he may indeed kill your Hero, but you've got a 2+ save to see if it's placed on another model in the unit.

Ahh, so I was sort of right... well about 85% right, thats still a B+, good enough for me

I must of missed that in the BRB

Cheers

Yeah, he can hit your hero, but you get LoS, also note that dwarf cannons are str 10 now as well

Yeah look out sir is kind of a pretty important rule regarding heroes. I am surprised in a friendly game he wouldn't remind you of a rule that big.
