ZigZags:

Im fielding a Hellcannon in a 2500 pt list and wondered what happens if the cannon fails and rampages toward an enemy unit but my friendly unit is in the way?

Also, since the release of a new Warrior of Chaos book is imminent, should we assume new rules for the Hellcannon?

Thommy H:

The Hellcannon has the Random Movement special rule now. Check the main Rulebook for how this interacts with friendly units.

Also yes.
Forget if ours has a price on it or it says "see WOC book".
if ours has a price, it stays that price.

Really, with a re-rollable 10, this failure shouldn't happen often. if you're shooting with it, you're near it.
if you're fighting, your BSB/ gen might be away...and this guy is a beast in combat.

Ha! It would be quite funny if the HellCannon gets beefed up and an increase in points costs, but the points value stays the same for us. I'm sure if that happened it would be FAQ'ed, but until then....

Any rumors as to what they plan on doing for the HC in the new book?

Blackspine:

rumor is ; it’ll get a 5+ ward (as it’s a demon)

other than that, no idea. I’m sure they’ll re-tool the misfire chart.

it kinda has a 3 use 5+ ward vs some with the crew. But as a close combat monster, this would be better
