Chariots and Single models like razorgors and monsters can can generally out manuver large blocks of infantry and get off charges that put them in contact with a character, in particular the wizard. Allowing you to snipe the wizard with impact hits, stomps, and large number of attacks.

That said can a second character in the targeted unit use a make way move to move your caster out of the danger zone?

Make way only lets you displace rank and file, or unit command (standard bearer, musician, unit champ).

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that impact hits were distributed as shooting, as were stomps (unless in a challenge), and could therefor not be direct to a character as long as there were sufficient rank and file models left in the unit.

The Chariot/Single Model could of course direct their regular attacks at the character, though.

Tgf - how are you allocating Impact Hits to characters in a unit? Distributed as shooting, same as stomps (outside of challenges) - as longas you have the requisite number of RnF you are immune to being hit by them

ah good point, but yes we see character sniping with single based things like razorgors, monsters, and chariots. I will need to point out that impact and stomp is as shooting. we have been playing that peice wrong.

You could always declare a challenge and throw a champion at them so they can't pummel your wizard. Then hope combat resolution wins the day for you.
Even if it's a draw and the next turn he will pummel you at least you might get to sling one last spell.

My problem is cannons going plink plink oh a 1 on your LoS roll? Your character just got splattered.
