[Archive] 8th Edition Rules Clarification

stonethecrow01:

Hope this is the right place to post this.

I had a question about the Iron Daemon in 8th Edition / Tamurkhan. Does it suffer the penalty for multiple shots when it shoots? It doesn’t have the rule multiple shots (x) but it definitely literally shoots multiple shots.

If it does suffer that penalty then it makes it pretty hard to ever land those shots at BS 3 and 9" half range. But hey it’s pretty damn good anyway.

Can you guys help me out here?

Baader the Great:

Mutiple shots is a special rule. If a unit doesn’t have it, it isn’t applied.

What I mean is: there is no general rule in Warhammer “If you shoot multiple times, you get a -1 modifier to hit”. There is only that special rule.

So, units that can shoot more than once in a shooting phase but don’t have the multiple shots rule (like the Empire’s Helfire Volley gun) do not suffer from a -1 to hit.
