Hi all,

Wondering how this worked in terms of "targeting".

The rule itself says "any unit wishing to target the Shadowseer or their unit must roll 2d6x2. If the unit is not within this distance in inches, the enemy unit may not fire this turn".

Question 1: Are the Harlequins considered to be "targeted" if a blast marker were to be placed INITIALLY partially over part of the unit. IE - If a unit of Dire Avengers were to be targeted by a Demolisher Cannon, and part of the blast marker is placed over a Harlequin, after the center of the blast marker has been placed over a Dire Avenger?

Question 2: If the answer to Q1 is "yes", does the enemy unit need to roll for Veil of Tears?

I'm aware that if the blast marker was not initially targeting the Harlequin troupe at all, and happen up scatter over them, that they'd be susceptible to being hit. I was just curious about the above situation.

Thanks Dakka!

Before any rolls to hit, including placing and scattering a blast marker, the 2d6x2 must be tested for. If it fails, then no hits can be generated against the Harlies.

However, if a blast marker scatters from a different target and touches the Harlies, then they would take hits as normal.

You only roll "Spotting Distance" if you are targeting the Harlies. Since the Demolisher is targeting the DA, then there is no roll, even though the Harlies are being hit.

That isnt the rule though. The rule states if you *target* the harlie unit - and *target* has a specific meaning in 40k.

Dont run harlies near other units, basically

Thanks for the clarification!

Where does everyone game? I found a great shop but I am looking for more friends to play. I am getting a large group of girlfriends to play there but I wasn't sure where everyone plays?

This is the wrong forum for getting together gaming groups. If you'd like to find some folks for games, then I'd suggest the forum appropriately titled Find A Game
