8th Ed. Purple Sun and Look out

[pehlman32]

So this past Saturday I was on my way to beating some demons as I had killed their greater demon by turn 2. However turn 3 they got purple sun off on my slann. He was with a unit of temple guard and would he have gotten a look out sir roll? I don't know if I would have won the game as it took a unit of 20 saurus down to 3.

Thanks!

You do get a Look Out Sir roll against Purple Sun. From the main rulebook FAQ:

Page 93 – Champions and Shooting
Change the third paragraph to “The only exceptions to this are
attacks that use a template (such as cannons, stone throwers,
breath weapons, magical vortexes and so on).”

I lost my Slann to this as well in a recent game, and only just found the amended rule.
