    Hey guys, if you can pry yourselves away from the more interesting topics (ie the new book ;) ) and answer this for me that would be great

    Can a oldblood/scarvet on cold one benefit from LOS roll if they are in a saurus unit? PLaying against my empire mate this weekend and suddenly realised I might be in trouble with his cannons.......

    Cheers in advance

    No. To get a look out sir, a character must be the same troop type as the unit. An Old Blood/Scar Vet on a Cold One is cavalry and would not get a LOS from an infantry unit of Saurus.

    But the hero still cannot be targeted by attacks that are "distributed as shooting" as long as the unit has 5+ models. I'm not sure if this helps versus cannons.

    Dammit :( I didn't think it did but I was kind of hoping I was wrong because cannons aren't distributed by shooting lol

    Thanks for the reply :) better revise my list a little I think

    Charmed Shield is the new standard for cannon-proofing a cowboy. I'd recommend that.
