<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Question about Barrage Weapon wound allocation/sniping characters."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Question about Barrage Weapon wound allocation/sniping characters. 40k after this new edition. Something that happened in a demo game was bothering me so I came to this board for some clarifications.

One player placed the center of a large template of a barrage weapon over 5 models, with the center on the character he wanted to snipe. He then rolled a hit, scoring 5 wounds. No Armour saves were allowed in this case due to ap. No cover saves, and not invulnerable saves. Since wounds are allocated from the center of the blast, he mentioned that that the character would have to successfully make five(5) "Look out Sir!" saves in order to not die.

I always thought that allocating one wound to the same model over and over again can only happen with multiple shooting attacks and that with a single shooting attack like the barrage blast, only one(1) look out sir! would need to be made. Also, if the character had multiple wounds he would take only 1.

Can someone clarify this for me?

Also in the Black Templar Codex, it mentioned that assault marines can take Storm Shield for only +3 points. This would not be affected by the faq that said the Storm shield from the armory moved from 10 pts to 15pts right?

Thank you all for your time.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4515976.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4515976.page GMT Question about Barrage Weapon wound allocation/sniping characters. LoS rules state that only one LoS roll can be taken per wound allocated. So if the character has 5 other models close enough all 5 could be allocated by LoS. The limitation on LoS is that only one LoS roll can be taken per wound, so if the character failed one he could not try again he would be removed as a casualty.

As for the BT Codex question I will have to have a gander at the codex to be able to answer that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516021.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516021.page GMT Question about Barrage Weapon wound allocation/sniping characters.

Unfortunatelly, that's what the rules says, the character is closes model and must absorb all hits and he must die before you allocate to next closes model (so he would have to look out sir! all wounds in order to survive agaist, no armour save weapons). It's same as per normal shooting.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516043.page GMT Question about Barrage Weapon wound allocation/sniping characters. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516096.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516096.page GMT Re:Question about Barrage Weapon wound allocation/sniping characters. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/461640/4516098.page GMT
