Hi guys,

As the subject says, do the attacks caused by the new Daemon army's Warp Storm table hit flyers? I know that the 5 and 9 results would automatically miss due to being templates, but what about 6 and 8? 8, The Dark Prince Thirsts, could be pretty useful for stripping hull points off a flyer if it can hit them.

I don't have my daemon codex yet, but how does the storm chart interact with the flyers immunity to auto hit attacks?

They are worded just like imotehk's lightning so I would say no fliers are not hit by them.

Ah. Didn't know Imotekh's storm doesn't hit. Almost definitely a no for Daemons, then. Oh well. I suppose the FAQ might change things, but probably not. Thanks for the response!

Eh none of the effects of warp storm can effect a flyer.

It's not the size of the blade, it's how you use it.

They can if it's Hovering; but not if it's Zooming.

True, I wasn't thinking about scattering onto the hovering flyer.

I see a lot of people saying this, but can anyone cite where it says that Warp Storm can't hit a flyer?

Question is, can you show us where it has permission to ignore hard to hit?

The BRB FAQ has an exhaustive entry clarifying Hard to Hit, which states that nothing can cause hits on a Zooming Flyer or Swooping FMC which does not Snap Shoot. It also says that no form of attack which automatically damages/affects a model by any other means than rolling to hit (templates, blasts, lines, Novas, Beams, etc., etc.) can target one either.
