8th Ed. Javelins

Hi all,

Do javelins (and other throwing weapons) suffer -1 to hit for long range? I can't see anywhere that they don't. It makes me think they aren't worth it anymore, but people still take them.

They do suffer from the long range penalty of -1. Where they shine is being 'quick to fire.' That means that there is no minimum range. They can always be thrown as a charge reaction.

Also they don't get the move&shoot penalty!
