FAQ
Super-heavy Vehicles
| Q: | Do you have to select all targets before any dice are rolled for the weapons mounted on a Super-heavy vehicle? If that is the case, are One Use Only/One Shot Only weapons used up if a previous weapon destroyed the target that the One Use Only/One Shot Only weapon was going to shoot? | | A: | Yes, to both questions. |
| Q: | Do Super-heavy Walkers shoot at targets from where their weapon is modeled or from the base? | | A: | Ranges are measured from the weapon itself. Unless modelled otherwise, assume all weapons have a 45° facing from the front of the model. |
| Q: | Are Super-heavy Walkers limited, like normal Walkers, to a 45° arc of fire from the facing of the model’s weapon? | | A: | Yes – they follow all the normal rules for Walkers, except when explicitly stated otherwise. |
