Im new and looking to build some ork mek gunz. My question is whether the entire unit of artillery pieces must shoot at the same target or if they are able to fire at independent targets?

Thanks RB

Artillery units choose their targets just like any other unit unless they have a special rule giving them the ability to split fire.

Trust me, with ork shooting and our weakness in ranged weapons you will want all of your gunz shooting the same target. i borrowed a battery of 5 gunz KMK's and played a Marine army, the results were mixed but on one turn the KMK's did manage to obliterate a terminator squad that thought DSing near my units was smart, 5 blast markers S8Ap2 resulted in 6 dead termies :-P
