That's what I thought. Thanks for clearing it up!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5971716.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5971716.page GMT Tesla weapon extra hits question Thinking about this in my own games, I'm sure my FMCs/Stormraven have fired upon by tesla weapons. I've never really considered it before, but do folks think those "automatic hits" get applied to Flyers/FMCs? They don't roll to hit...but the tesla DID roll to hit...

I'm inclined to say no, since auto-hits simply cannot hit Flyers. Any argument to the contrary?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5971957.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5971957.page GMT Tesla weapon extra hits question

The weapon generates two extra hits on a to-hit roll of six. Nothing says it's a new auto-hitting weapon or new shots that somehow didn't roll to hit. It's just two extra hits.

Besides, if the gun instead caused d3 hits... would you even be thinking about whether any hit beyond the first rolled to hit or not?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972043.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972043.page GMT Re:Tesla weapon extra hits question did roll to hit, after all, it just hits more often on a roll of 6. That's just my take on it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972271.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972271.page GMT Tesla weapon extra hits question effect that only applies on To Hit rolls of a 6 retain these abilities?
For example Necron Tesla weapons? (p13)
A: Yes.

From the FAQ,

Nothing denies fliers being hit by weapons that auto hit, it comes from the snap shot rule. So they would still work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972284.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972284.page GMT Tesla weapon extra hits question

This is worth clarifying, to avoid confusion. The following two FAQs apply, and if I've read them right, means that while things that "automatically hit" (that is, things that indicate a To Hit roll is needed but is automatically passed) can still hit flyers, things that don't use a To Hit roll at all can't.

Q: Does a weapon that hits automatically, still hit automatically
when making a Snap Shot? (p13)
A: Yes.

Q: How do maelstroms, novas and beams – or indeed any weapon
that doesn’t need to roll To Hit or hits automatically – interact with
Zooming Flyers and Swooping Flying Monstrous Creatures? (p13)
A: Only Snap Shots can hit Zooming Flyers and Swooping
Flying Monstrous Creatures. Therefore, any attacks that use
blast markers, templates, create a line of/area of effect or
otherwise don’t roll to hit cannot target them. This includes
weapons such as the Necron Doom Scythe’s death ray or the
Deathstrike missile of the Imperial Guard, and psychic
powers that follow the rule for maelstroms, beams, and
novas.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/547561/5972309.page GMT Tesla weapon extra hits question
So you're right, but Tesla aren't covered;
