You can 'fire directly' which means that you have line of sight on the target and your blast scatter is reduced by your ballistic skill.

You can't fire using just your ballistic skill if you're using a blast type weapon. You always have to roll for scatter with blasts. Even tanks roll for scatter if their weapon is a blast.

There are some weapons that can ONLY be fired indirectly and scatter the full distance if they don't get a direct hit. Their rules will tell you and I don't actually remember any off the top of my head other than Chapter Master's Orbital Bombardment and the Minotaur from Forge World. I'm sure there are others.

You can move your model however you like. Point the gun barrel anywhere that tickles your fancy. It usually won't have an effect on the range and the game isn't detailed enough to care about bullet arcs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672725/8307306.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672725/8307306.page GMT Artillery Weapons used like Tanks? Well this answer pretty well covered my question. Artillery and Barrage weapons are not point, shoot, hit. They are point, shoot, and hope. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672725/8307343.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672725/8307343.page GMT Artillery Weapons used like Tanks?
Attaching an inquisitor with a psyocculum to a thunderfire or artillery battery will give them bs10 when shooting at psychers.

Casting prescience on the artillery unit/s of your choice lets them reroll both the scatter direction and distance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672725/8308533.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/672725/8308533.page GMT Artillery Weapons used like Tanks?
