Hello everyone...

The Fire Raptor comes stock with 4 Hellstrike missiles which have ordnance in their profile.

1) Can I fire all four missiles in one turn? I don't think so... since if you fire one ordnance weapon the rest snap shoot and you cannot snap shoot. I've seen several older threads here talking about firing all four missiles when you come on the board, but this is impossible and wrong, right?

2) Can I fire one missile, snap shoot the avenger bolt cannon and fire the reaper batteries at normal ballistic skill since they are independent?

Thanks alot!

1) You can snap shot other weapons, nothing forbidding that.
2) Not sure. Snapshot is very clear that all other weapons on the vehicle snapshot

The second part to your question has been discussed quite a bit.
Personally I'm on the side of the quad bolters/reaper autocannons being able to fire normally as they 'do not count towards the number of weapons the gunship may fire each turn'.
There are interpretations both ways.

The simple answer to avoid something like the 3 page discussion that is likely to follow, is to find the15pts for the balefire missiles as they are not ordnance. You can fire 3 of these and your avenger bolt cannon at one target and engage two others with your side sponsoons.

Upgrade the missles. ^^^ best solution.

Yeah alright guys, thanks for your responses. Balefire it is then!
