Bombardment
URL Copied!

When shooting with this weapon, work your way through the following steps:

1. Choose Target: Choose an enemy unit that is within the war machine’s line of sight and between its minimum and maximum range to be the target and place the blast template so that its central hole is directly over the centre of that unit.

2. Scatter: Once the template has been placed, it will scatter. Roll an Artillery dice and a Scatter dice:

  • If a 'Misfire' is rolled on the Artillery dice, something has gone horribly wrong. Roll immediately on the appropriate Misfire table to determine exactly what.

  • If a 'Hit!' is rolled on the Scatter dice, the shot has landed on target and the number shown on the Artillery dice is ignored.

  • If an arrow is rolled on the Scatter dice, move the template a number of inches equal to the roll of the Artillery dice in the direction the arrow points.

3. Damage: Any model whose base lies underneath the template risks being hit:

  • A single model whose base lies underneath the central hole of the blast template is struck by the projectile and suffers a hit with higher Strength and Armour Piercing characteristics, as shown in brackets on the war machine's profile.

  • All other hits are resolved using the war machine's normal Strength and Armour Piercing characteristics.
