The Cyclops demolition vehicle is possibly my favourite unit in 40k, and I love these little Michael Bays to bits. I've been wondering if 1) these little fellas can detonate on overwatch, and 2) what that would look like if they could.

My assumptions are:

1) Probably can't do overwatch, as the blurb for the demo charge begins 'at the start of any of this model's shooting phases...'

But just assuming it could for a moment:

2) Overwatch could only be triggered if the attacker started its charge within six inches of the unit, and even then it's not guaranteed to hit if the d6 blast radius rolls low.

What do you guys think?

Can’t do Overwatch, sadly.

Agreed.

A shame. Ah well, that was put to bed easily.
