If a model's weapon is out of range it doesnt hurt the enemy, but how does this work with the closest model allocation system? What if removing a casualty causes the squad to now be out of range?

MasterSlowPoke says: Being within range at the start is all that's necessary, allocating to models outside the range of the weapons is allowed. (page 16)

If there is a single model with a 2+ save in a unit with normally a 3+ save (say a Wolf Guard Terminator with Grey Hunters) and the 2+ save guy is the closest model, you have to resolve the wounds one at a time until he is killed, then use the rest of the wound pool on powered-armored models, right?

Shadelkan says: Yes. This does make the game slower, but it also means you can have a literally wall to protect the weaker things behind you. More tactics are involved.

Now what happens in the situation that one model can not see someone in the enemy unit? Can his wound go on to the hidden model as long as someone else in the unit can see him?

chrisrawr says: If you cannot see the closest model, the wounds pool goes to the next closest, visible model. If there are no visible models in the unit, your wounds pool disappears and the shooting is resolved.

What if SOME of the unit can see the model and some can not. I was wondering if you need to keep track of which models in the unit can and cant see as you allocate, or as long as someone in the unit can see then anyone in the unit can kill him, so long as they could shoot.

chrisrawr says: Page 12, "Line of Sight" answers your question in combination with "Which Models Can Fire" on Page 13, top left.

Also, do you have to randomize each wound with multiple closest (like multiple units being in base contact in the assault phase) or do you randomize once to see who the closest is, then randomize again to see who the next closest is only when the first closest dies?

Shadelkan says: In close combat, the defender is allowed to allocate wounds on any models that are in base contact with any models of that initiative order.

About preferred enemy: Does it mean re-roll only 1's for not hitting and wounding or does it mean mean re-roll all failed hits and only 1's for wounding.

Drunkspleen says: you only re-roll 1s for both to-hit and to-wound dice

Fortress of redemption has how many firepoints? Rulebook says "As per model," but I don't see any on the bunker annexes. Can you only fire if you're on the walkways? This is despite WD having Phil Kelly claim there are 6 for each bunker annex.

Rakear says: Treat the top/catwalks of the fortress as if you were embarked/standing on top of a bastion. (basically its open topped if yer on the catwalks).
If you look at the side of the mode there firepoints/slits all along the long wall edge of the catwalk as well

Wound Allocation, page 15 & the closest model: read it a few times by now, but still it seems to me that the closest model soaks up all fire until until he has 0 wounds left -is that so ?

chrisrawr says: yes. Closest model continues to be hit until he is killed. If it's a sergeant with a separate armour save, you can look-out sir on one of his grunts' armour saves. If it's the same, you can allocate an unsaved wound to a grunt. If LoS fails he takes it.

So, wound allocation rules. If all models have the same save, you roll saves first, then allocate wounds. Then, if a character has a wound allocated to him, Look Out Sir can happen. Good. Now, if the saves of a character and troopers are different, you follow different procedure, where you allocate wounds first and take saves later. Does this mean that you can't abuse Look Out Sir to take saving throws using character's better armor save and killing troopers instead of him? I think the answer is "Yes", but it will definitely come up in our games.

Focus Fire and closest Model, page 18: does this rule only apply to a squad/unit being shot at in line formation, every model being exactly equidistant to the closest firing model - because otherwise there is no choice of cover, the nearest one gets it - or does this break the closest model rule ?

chrisrawr says: Your opponent must allocate the wounds to the closest models that match the cover save (or worse) that you declared. This means that if you declare 5+ or worse, and there are models with 4+ cover, he allocates to the closest models with 5+ cover or worse.

I've got a question, why the hell is the regular plasma cannon subject to "Get's Hot" on vehicles but not the Executioner Plasma Cannon? That makes zero sense.

robzidious says: I have seen several typos in this rulebook. The fact that there is a misplaced comma in that entry after "blast" leads me to believe they made an error and it should also have Gets Hot.

Look Out Sir? saves taken, before the look out sir, or after.

Shadelkan says: In a mixed save unit, saves are taken after a look out sir rule. In same-save unit, the saves are taken as a group, then look out sir may be used. Remember, the key is that the Look out sir is allowed when wounds are allocated to the character.
