Hopefully a simple one.

"If when using this power the Librarian fails his psychic test, place the Vortex of Doom blast marker on the Librarian - in this case the template will not scatter."

If the Librarian is embarked in a vehicle and using this power from the firing point, do you just place the blast over the vehicle hull and resolve the hit? So, this means that the Librarian will only take a pretty weak vehicle hit as opposed to an instant-death blast, right?

Cheers!

The more difficult question is which AV do you result the hit on: front, side, or rear?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085819.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085819.page GMT Re:SM Librarian - VoD ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085828.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085828.page GMT Re:SM Librarian - VoD FWIW the Ork wierdboy can end up doing a similar thing (mine does it nearly every game!)

I'm not convinced you could put the blast marker on the librarian when he's embarked anyway but, assuming you can, i would place it over the firing point. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085835.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085835.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD faq is published i.e. 2050); place the blast marker over the fire point and resolve it from there. Or, since the libby has called a VoD into being inside the vehicle, resolve it against the rear armour (this would be a better reflection of a vortex appearing inside the vehicle).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085839.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085839.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085853.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085853.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD

Lol..

I don't have skaven.

Seriously though, wouldn't the rear armour thing be designed for open-topped vehicles?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085879.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085879.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085892.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085892.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085895.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1085895.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD

Frustrating indeed!

So, is it fair to say we're all agreed that if embarked in a vehicle when catastrophe occurs, the Librarian isn't in danger of sucking up up the blast himself? Let's sidestep the question of where on the vehicle is hit for now.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1086456.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1086456.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD FAQ.

Done, and I tidied it up a little to avoid the initial confusion.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1088875.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/263662/1088875.page GMT SM Librarian - VoD

There is no requirement, but it sure makes the game easier to play, and good rules and FAQ writers try to bear it in mind. And most players (IME) instinctively look at similar cases for precedent when trying to resolve an unclear rule.

thebetter1 wrote:You are allowed to place the template anywhere over the vehicle, so if you put it in the front, it hits front armor. Your opponent will not be able to argue with that.


In your previous post you opined that one could “interpret” the rule as allowing you to place the template anywhere over the vehicle, which would be somewhat consistent with the written rule re: the disembarked Librarian, which states to place the template with the hole over his base. Now your opinion is that the rules definitively and clearly allow you to place the template anywhere you want over the vehicle, and your opponent won’t be able to argue with it?

A. I disagree. I think the case is more similar to the Weirdboy, and thus that's a more useful precedent to work from.
B. What new evidence did you encounter which made you change your opinion?
