When shooting with this weapon, draw a straight line, 8D6" in length, from the model's base edge. Any model (friend or foe) whose base falls under this line suffers a hit, the Strength of which is determined by rolling an Artillery dice. If a 'Misfire' is rolled when rolling to determine the Strength of this weapon, something has gone horribly wrong. Roll immediately on the Warp Lightning Misfire table to determine exactly what.
D6 | Result |
1 | Meltdown: The machine and its crew explode in a spectacular green fireball. The model fails to shoot this turn. Instead, it is destroyed and immediately removed from play. |
2-4 | Energy Overload: Unfathomable energies spin the war machine around before it unleashes a potent blast of warp lightning. The Warp Lightning Cannon shoots with a Strength of 6 in a random direction, determined by rolling a Scatter dice. |
5-6 | Fzzzt: With a high-pitched screech, followed by a descending, whirring noise, the energy dissipates harmlessly. The model fails to shoot this turn. |
