Hi all,

Firstly apologies of this has been covered before - I couldn't find the answer to his question though. So i'm thinking of taking a Chaos Sorcerer as my HQ and have been looking through the list of powers available to him. A lot of the powers in Biomancy and Telepathy look like they could come in pretty handy but I was wondering what rules they follow when it comes to trying to hit fliers (and in particular FMCs). Is a witchfire power rolled to hit against the casters BS - and if so does that mean it would require a 6 to hit a swooping FMC?

Thanks guys

Witchfires are treated just like ranged weapons in this regard, so you'll have to Snapfire if you don't have Skyfire.

Blessings and Maledictions work like they would normally.

Thanks for the response - that's great

apart from psychic scream, that autohits and wound so aginst FMC its gold dust.

Except for the FaQ that says only snapshots can hit Swooping FMC's and Zooming Flyers.

And it goes on to say that anything that does not roll to hit can not target those flyers.
