In the codex it says that weapon platforms count as relentless. Does this include the Support Battery? Because if it does, they can move and shoot.

Where are you seeing that they get Relentless?

p.66 on Heavy Weapon Platforms.

As per the digital codex I'm seeing nothing for the Support Weapon getting Relentless. It's not a Guardian Heavy Weapon Platform.

Those are the ones that come with the Guqardians, the Heavy Support versions are called Support Batteries. Different name, different rules.

Also, the support weapons are artillery, RAW you cannot move and shoot with them

Yea he got the "Guardian Defender Weaponm Platforms" and the "Vaul's Wrath Artillery Squadron" confused since they are both weapon platforms.

..but Artillery = No move and shoot!

I just found out that Vaul's Wrath Support Batterys can run and shoot. It says that an artillery unit can't shoot if it moved in the movement phase. It can run however, and the crew has Battle Focus, so they can run and shoot, with a reroll on the run move due to fleet.

Battle focus prohibits running and firing heavy weapons doesn't it?

Rule One = Be Polite

Rule One = Be Polite

I wonder how gamers get a bad reputation?

There seems to be some confusion between the Support Weapon platforms and the heavy weapon platforms. It reminds of the emplaced guns/gun emplacement issues of the 6th ed BRB.

Ouch,

Rule #1 guys - there's a link to it in my signature.

Thanks!

Battle Focus excludes Heavy weapons unless they have Relentless. Guardian Heavy Weapons Platform has Relentless. Vaul's Wrath Support Battery does not.
