Hi all

If a blood angels player has a priest near his defense line, so the unit has feel no pain, and manning a quadgun/icarus? Does that mean if I target the gun emplacement, he gets a fnp save on that to?

Cheers

No, gun doesn't join the squad.
Someone in the squad is just using it to shoot.

I don't think the gun counts as a friendly unit even if you're controlling it.

It does not have to be part of the squad, just within 6 of the priest to get fnp.

So if its no a freindly model, it cant claim fnp?

No. FNP only applies to models.

But does it not count as artillery? Therefore a model?

(I'm on the side saying it cant, but it came up in a game so wanting a clarification thanks )

It's not a unit. It's terrain.

Cool, thanks for all the answers guys. All sorted now

It's a piece of terrain represented by a model, but it's not a Friendly Model.

Is it alive? If yes, give it FNP. If no, is it some kind of Necron FNP we're talking about? Otherwise, goddamnit I wish people would stop tweaking the rules for advantage like this

To be fair blood angels need all the help they can get....


My plan was this. Vindicare assassin gets the ignores cover spell from coteaz (divination). Shoots a turbo penetration round at the quad, wounds on a 2+ and does 2 wounds. Goodbye quad....however hes said he would get fnp

That has no bearing on it - it's not a friendly model from Codex BA so it can't get FNP off a Sanguinary Priest.

Blood Angels FAQ, page 3 and the amendment to the Sanguinary Priest (starting with the words "Page 48")

Well if the Quad gun is not a "model" then the Turbo-pen round would not cause two wounds to it as the rule specifically states "non-vehicle model" which the quad gun is not.

Good catch, will just leave the psyfleman to kill it then and save the assassin for something else like the priest himself.

turbo pen wounds on a 4+, otherwise what's the point of helfire?

Just out of curiosity, what happens if a quad-gun survives a warpflame shot from a flamer and gets FNP? Can it benefit from the rule in that circumstance?

Yea chaos can do anything.

It can take FnP because it has wounds, but as its not a model some things that give out FnP won't work.

^^This. You can either wound on a 2+, give two wounds on a 4+, or break a piece of wargear and give a wound on a 4+. No combining the effects of different bullets.
