8th Ed. Hellcannon Rules

That's the thing, the crew aren't single models. They are part of the Hellcannon model, just like the Stegadon and its howdah skinks. A champion or a character can be sniped and they can be directly targeted if within base-to-base contact; the hellcannon crew cannot be. As such, when the hellcannon is targeted by Spirit Leech, the FAQ ruling comes into play. At least that's the way I see it.

Fair enough. Guess I'll check with my friend when we play next if he agrees or not.

I am afraid that you would have to discuss this with any opponents, or tournament organizers in advance, if you do not want the roll a dice rule to come into effect. I have to concur with the other lizards that indeed the Winds spell and the other plan you had would not work.

If you ask my opinion though, I would be inclined to say that you test on LD 4. When someone casts Purple Sun on models without an I (even if they have a crew like Dwarven Cannons!) I remember the ruling to be that they have no I value, and are automatically slain. Same applies for when you cast Purple Sun on one of our Steggies, you use their lower I of 2 instead of the skink's I of 4.
