<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "New IG rules- Basilisks"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net New IG rules- Basilisks IG basilisk can fire directly? I mean if it cant then it sucks a load and theres no point taking one...

By the way i already posted this but in a different place and during my work hours so it wasnt too great, thats why i poted it again... thought more people would find it here and make it clearer.

If it cant fire directly then theres not much point taking the basilisk in any other game than a spearhead set-up. Any Other set-up and its going to get one shot off. and it'd be pointless in plannetstrike.

The Griffon and the Deathstrike too.

But yeah, unless otherwise specified, all Ordnance barrage may Fire Directly. Just remember you lose the barrage Rules and the Minimum Range.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806249.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806249.page GMT Re:New IG rules- Basilisks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806538.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806538.page GMT Re:New IG rules- Basilisks

Correct

Wrong, only Ordnance Barrage may Fire Directly, Normal Barrage (such as Mortars) may not.
Regwon wrote:but it will still have a minimum range, because that is covered in the weapon statline rather than in the rules for barrage weapons.
Wrong. Page 58, BRB:
If fired directly at the target, they are treated exactly like normal ordnance weapons (ignoring the minimum range in the weapon's profile).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806550.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806550.page GMT Re:New IG rules- Basilisks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806554.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/806554.page GMT Re:New IG rules- Basilisks
1) A basilisk CAN fire directly
2) It CAN fire within 36" but loses the barrage rule

It says this on Pg 58 in the rule book

Have i got this right then? Or will there be more debating?

That honor goes to the Space Marines, who can now move and fire their whirlwinds and ignore their 12" minimum range by firing them directly. Nobody seemed to notice until IG came out and then we got people asking this exact same question several times a week for about two months now. People actually started screaming about how the Basilisk got nerfed before the codex was even released. And then there are also people who like talking about how much better the new mortar is than the old mortar with exactly the same profile. It just goes to show that a lot of people don't know the rules as well as they think they do. I expect we'll still have newbies confidently telling other newbies that the Basilisk can't shoot inside 36" a year from now. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/808684.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/808684.page GMT New IG rules- Basilisks cannot move and fire Ordnance Barrage as Barrage unless you are Fast or have a Special Rule saying otherwise.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/808692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/808692.page GMT New IG rules- Basilisks

I noticed the Whirlwind thing back about a year ago, when the rules came out. Pointed it out to our local Marine players as a bennie.
Gwar, pg 58 says vehicles that remained stationary can fire Ord Barrage, not seeing anything in Fast to change this. Am I missing something (or did I catch you drinking again?)

Edit: Never mind, found it, page 70. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/808704.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/246228/808704.page GMT New IG rules- Basilisks
