1) When shooting at a Large Target, any number of models in the unit may fire, regardless of ranks.

2) When shooting from an elevated position, two ranks may fire, even though the back rank can't normally see the target. Likewise, they can see over intervening units that are lower than them.

3) When shooting at an elevated target, units can see over other units.

I'd say the argument is sound. If you're on a hill with Long Rifles (for example), then you could pick off a Damsel. (The truly evil thing about this example is that she won't be getting a "Look out, Sir!" roll... )

Is there some magical barrier preventing me from seeing the back of a unit if I'm on a hill? If I can draw my Line of Sight clear over a unit, doesn't that mean that I can see the guys in back? Because if I can't see the guys in back, then I can't see anything past them, either.

As an example, the HLR says that I can target any model I can see. If I'm on a hill, I can the see the head of every model in a given unit that is lower than me.

To suggest that I could only see the front rank of said unit would have to mean that I can't see past them.

That's why all those Brettonian Knights have those HUGE plumages

Good thing the Damsel models tend to be holding something aloft, then...

As I believe Ed used to say, "Play the game, not the rules."

It's KiMonnarez, actually. But still, the line fits.

So unless your magic-lady is in a unit of less than five models, she can't be targeted.

Unless you're using specific attacks, such as Hochland Long Rifles, 'Eadbutt, and a handful of other attacks that let you pick out a specific model in a unit. Hence the point of this entire thread.

That's why you do it twice. Target the model in front of her, and then you have LOS to her. Since you can target a specific model, that model must be removed. Or just take a Chaos Lord with the Bindings of Slaanesh and wipe her clean off the face of the Earth.



If you want to be like that, I'll just fire a Helblaster at the unit and kill all the Knights around her, making her fair game.
