All shooting from a unit is simultaneous.

So if I drop a Mycetic Spore with three Zoans near something I want them to kill and use their Warp Blast/ Warp Lance powers AND the first shot destroys the target...

It looks to me like what would happen is:

1) Zoans declare all three will Warp Lance the *big scary vehicle*
2) Zoan 1 hits and destroys the vehicle.
3) Zoan 2 and 3 still have to check for Perils?

After all since their shooting is simultaneous, that means Zoans 2 and 3 weren't waiting to see the effect of the first shot, and hence are still
shooting (at nothing of course) and hence still have to make a Perils roll.

Did I get that right?

Yes all three Zoans have to check for perils. The way I do it is declare what powers I am using first, roll for psyhic tests and DTW then resolve.

Yep, you've got this absolutely correct.

Same thing happens with any Gets Hot! weapons too, for what it's worth.

Not really.
You don't fully resolve shooting attacks individually.
Declare what you're shooting at.
Take perils test for all three.
Roll to hit for all three, etc etc.

Okay thanks all.

Obviously it'd be better for the brain bugs if it wasn't so but *shrug*. They're still on my shopping list

Edit: Typo.

And remember that as long as the first result wasn't "explodes" you can keep trying to get the thing to blow up with the other 2 Zoans. May as well since technically they're "shooting" anyway and are already in jeopardy from PotW.

Yup that makes sense as well Seeing as how Wave Serpents are now flying out the door at my FLGS I think I need to move those Zoans up a bit in my shopping priority..
