So i busted out the Hellcannon in my first AOS game and I want to be sure I am playing it correctly. It just seemed a bit too nasty.

The rules for the Hellcannon state that a unit hit suffers d6 mortal wounds. If I have two attacks, and both hit is that really a potential 12 unsaveable wounds on one unit? We played it that way for our game and I was able to snipe out all of his heroes fairly quickly.

Yes, that is exactly what that means, as far as I can tell. I had not noticed that the Hellcannon had such firepower. That is incredibly nasty.

It's a great solution to Summoning spam and heroes in general, that's for sure!
