Hi all,

I have a question about line of sight for ranged weapons. When picking targets with ranged weapons, do you need to see 50% of the model in order to shoot at it?

I always take a Khorgorath in my list to block LOS on my Bloodsecrator and the guy I was playing against said if he could see it, he could shoot it. So we went through the rules and it says "pick a unit that is in range and visible to the attacker".

Has anyone else come across this sort of thing before?

(I have added a pic of the situation so would love peoples opinions)

Sadly seeing any amount of the target is sufficient.

Yep, all you would get is a +1 cover save

Unless he is wholly on or wothin an area of terrain he would not get cover. One could be completely visible or 99% obscured, doesn't matter for cover.

Shooting is very simple in AOS. If it's both in range and any amount of sight you can shoot.
