I think this has probably already been resolves, because in the new dex the dark reaper exarch ability is worded like fast shot.


But can by Dark Reaper exarch fire say.........my plasma obliterator cannon using its exarch ability to fire it twice?

I don't have the new book to read how it's written. If it says fire his specific weapon, then I think that'd be obvious. If it's just whatever weapon he fires, then I'd say yes he gets to double fire the fortification weapon if it's allowed to be manned.

p112, Emplaced Weapons - Manual Fire:

All relevant special rules from the firing model {...} are used.

Fast Shot:

always fires one more shot than is normal for it's weapon

All that's left really is the definition of "it's weapon", whether that only refers to weapons owned by the model, or whether it extends to any weapons the model happens to be using. For which we are unlikely to get an official answer, and dictionary's will be waved.

Off-topic, that's a nasty combo...

I've always seen fast shot ruled as extending to emplaced weapons. In the old codex, the Avatar of Khaine could take fast shot and man a macro-cannon for 2 BS 10 apacalyptic blasts, or 2 large blast D-weapons. Or you could just put him on a lascannon for a lot cheaper.

Yeah, sadly Macrocannons arent usually allowed.

But this combo is, and I happen to have a plasma obliterator and an elf with a really itchy trigger finger.

Doing it. This isn't quite as good as the Vindicare sniper-silo, but it's up there.

What wording do tournaments in your area use to ban macrocannons while still allowing plasma oblits? Banning multi-part buildings or D weapons or...? If it's a ban on D-weapons, are you allowed to use models that have them without using the D-weapons?
