Hi All,

The Blasphemous Machines stratagem allows a vehicle to ignore the penalties for moving and shooting heavy weapons and advancing and firing assault weapons. Does this allow a dreadnought that moves to fire a c-beam cannon?

The c-beam cannon has the restriction/penalty "This weapon may not be fired on any turn in which the model carrying it has moved." Would the stratagem overrule this restriction/penalty, or do you think it is clearly intended to only be referring to the -1 to hit penalty.

I think it is a bit of wishful thinking, but thoughts are helpful!

Thanks

No, you can't do this. "The penalties for moving and shooting heavy weapons" is/are not the C-Beam's special rule.

Agreed. C beam require you to not have moved. You need something that states you could t as not having moved in general, and not just for this specific purpose.

I thought as much, cool, thanks both!
