Hey guys so I am considering picking up a manticore and just wondered if the missiles counted for LOS? That is drawing LOS to the manticore, not from. I assume they would, but a weapon, an antenna, etc don't count for LOS...but that can't still hold when the weapon is almost 50% of the vehicle right? Just wondering, because that'll alter just how much terrain I'll have to hide the bugger behind

I see no reason why they wouldn't fall into the classification of weapons and thus not be valid points for line of sight.

I know it just seems...odd. They are such a big part of the model. Ah well it is a good thing for me if it doesn't count.

QFT.

It does seem silly, but you can almost completely hide a Manticore behind a Chimera as the hulls are the same height and the launcher/missiles do not count for LOS.

This being said, while I would probably play this way in a tournament, if someone wanted to draw LOS to the launcher in a friendly game I would probably let them.
