So I cant find anywhere where it says the weapon arcs for the knight weapons. Im assuming that the Arm weapons (gatling, battle cannon, melta) all have a 45 degree arc because they are not turreted. Same as the carapace mounted melta/stubber, and gun mounted heavy flamer and stubber.

However what is the firing arc of the rocket pods and Icarus auto cannon? In the rule book it says that super heavy walkers follow the rules of super heavy vehicles when shooting. But regular walkers weapons have a 45 degree arc whereas super heavy tanks can have hull and turret mounted guns.

The reason im asking is that I am converting the stormspear rocket on the knight. I hate it on the top and was working on some stuff for it to be on the side of the gun. Would it still have the firing arc as if it were on the top?

Thanks!

The way I understand it as of now (based on the faqs) who knows. In one faq they say IK have 360 degrees and in another they say it is 45 degrees from the weapon's facing. I and my group have just been saying it is 360 considering how much things can swivel on the model especially considering the disparity between SHV and GMC.

Well there goes my dreams of an arm mounted rocket launcher. It looks so bad and bulky on top.

nothing really stopping you for doing it and measuring from the top if you really need to.

unless maybe its a tournament.
