Quick question - the gunfort allows all three to fire at a single target using one model's BS - does each emplaced weapon also gain that model's special rules? If a commander with Velocity Tracker is on a gunrig in a gunfort, and a flyer in on the board he doesn't like, could he fire all three railguns (with armorbane for a little extra flyer f***ing) with the skyfire rule, since that model is essentially firing all three weapons, or am I completely wrong?

I'm would't be too upset about being wrong - regardless, I could still fire all three at a flyer, two railguns would have top make snap shots and only one would have skyfire, but that'd be BS5 skyfire and the railgun has armorbane, so the flyer would have to jink or die.

I believe it does. Because there's only 1 model firing - the other 2 gunrigs doesn't require other people inside the disk to use this rule.

I don't believe it works because it doesn't say it counts as the model firing it, just that is uses its BS

But then... who's firing them?

Can you write the text of the rule? I don't have my book on me. I think this is one of those rules where the specific wording will matter. There is a huge difference between a model firing an emplaced weapon (you get rules) and an emplaced weapon automatically firing, but at a higher BS (no rules).

Gunrig:

COMPOSITION:
1 Tidewall Gunrig. The Tidewall Gunrig consists of a defence platform with an attached gun battery.

TERRAIN TYPE:
The defence platform is battlefield debris (defence line), and the attached gun battery is battlefield debris (gun emplacement).

Gunfort:

Coordinated Strike: Once per turn, a model firing a railgun from a Tidewall Gunfort can make a coordinated strike. If it does so, all of the railguns from the Gunfort fire at the same target unit using the model’s Ballistic Skill, and may not be fired separately in the same shooting phase. Railguns firing in a coordinated strike add 1 to their Strength if using submunitions, and receive the Armourbane special rule if using solid shot.
