How do you do a stand and shoot Whit a warpfire trowher?

My Understanding, Is models charge the Warpfire, Role stand and shoot distance, place template, Charging unit, then rolls to charge, Any modles that pass through the template are hit. If the charge fails, and the modles do not reach the template, none are hit.

Why would the template stay there? You resolve a shooting attack fully before you get to "move chargers"

Place template, roll, anything hit is hit. Thats it, that I am aware

I'd like the template "to stay while they charge", but nothing supports that sadly
It would be overkill to be honest ... no one would charge'em, ever

Having just re-read the rules, I am changing my opinion, I was going off what other skaven players have told me,. To stand and shoot: (paragraph 3) the shooting attack can be made even if the that is outside of an Enemy uinits maximum range, the shooting is resolved normally assuming the enemy is just within maximum range of the shooting units shortest ranged weapon, If the charge fails.......ETC

So by this,
Warpfire Declares stand and shoot.
Roll Art dice, If misfire roll on the chart, If any range is rolled, place the template anywhere over the unit in the legal fashion so that short end is closest to the warpfire and the long end is pointing away.

When using stand and shoot for warpfire throwers you follow normal shooting rules and shoot as if it was your turn. If the unit is out of range imagine that the unit is at maximum range, you can place a marker for their starting point to measure charge range and move the models within range to view where the template lands if it is easier.

The enemy is within maximum range when the front edge of the template just touches the front of the unit. That doesn't sound as if you could just place the template wherever you like.

As above. So you would place at the front of the unit, rolll artillery, move forward, resolve.
