8th Ed. canon hit stegadon

[lightroot]

first sorry I don't speak English that well

I have one question. if canon ball hit skink chief on stegadon.
it this situation, skink chief and stegadon both s10 d6 damage?

 

[Craken]

Nope either or, see monster mounts in the main rulebook.

 

[HoverBoy]

As per the new rules the cannonball hits the steg, the chief and the crewskinks, with S10 multyple wounds (D6).

 

[TheRolfgar]

Sadly the poor steg and all the crew eat the cannonball as it is considered a template attack.

 

[pgarfunkle]

I thought that a cannon was not a template a so when hitting a stegadon or other ridden monster the hit was randomised between the monster and ridders, and it is a stone thrower that is a template and therefore hits everyone.

 

[TheRolfgar]

Page 113 " A cannon ball is treated exactly like a special kind of template"

It follows the rules for templates, everything is hit. It is a very sad thing but thats how it plays out in 8th. Each part of the model takes the hit.

 

[MagpieManny]

So just to let me get it right?

When a stonethrower centered its template on a Steg model. Every part of the model gets a S10 hit?

 

[Juhaaha]

Nope, S10 is cannon, stone thrower is S3 and S9(?) in the centre

 

[pgarfunkle]

Wow I missed that line about it being a special template

 

[MagpieManny]

So if the stone thrower centers on the model. Randomize the S9 hit and the rest get hit by s3?

Now i understand why people say gone with the steggie vs cannons and such.

 

[Juhaaha]

Yeah, the S9 hit is randomized. Does D6 wounds thought

 

[walach]

indeed, so at least the steg has a vauge chance against a stone thrower. against a cannon all you can do is pray for a low roll on the d6 wounds

and a good roll on monster reaction.
