Reading over a lot about the new Necron codex… Looks neat, and I expect the FAQ pretty soon
because there are some really poorly worded ones there. The “Death Ray” is the first one I’m curious
about…
“Death
ray: To fire the death ray, nommate a po1nt
on
the battlefield
anywhere withm the weapon's range. then
nominate a
second point within 3D6" of the
f1rst Then, draw
a straight hne between
the two poonts Every un1t (fnendly or
enemy) underneath the
fine suffers a number of hits equal to
the
number
of models 1n the umt
underneath the hne. tf
the
veh1cle's other weaponry
•s fired in the same shooting phase,
1t must be flfed at one of the
unJts hit by the
death ray”
So, it either means for every unit that gets hit, every
model in that unit gets hit OR it could mean that every unit that gets hit,
count the number of actual models hit by the line, the that unit takes that
number of hits… Could be either one
really, I’m assuming the first, but honestly the first time I read it I took it
to mean the second… But then I’m just an
Engineer, I can’t be expected to understand these things J… So, either way, it is a HUGE priority target
for just about anyone facing it…
I am glad I am not playing them. =)
ReplyDelete:-) Yeah, it's either really powerful and the "priority target" for everything on the field that CAN shoot it to do so, or it's "neat" and moderately powerful, but not necessarily the "it must die NOW" level... Guessing it will still be the major target for my lads because the "small, elite" forces tend to lose more valuable stuff from these weapons hitting...
