I was just wondering. In the Skaven rule book it says that the warp lightning cannon with die if it is hit by a strength 7 or greater weapon or shot and fails its save. Because it is a war machine, does this mean that all other war machines that are not Skaven also explode to strength 7? By this I mean, am I able to destroy a cannon or bolt thrower with a strength 8 or 10 shot from my warp lightning cannon? |
| You kids these days have it so easy, what with your Plague Furnaces and your Hellpit Abominations and your Bonebreaker Warlords. Back in MY day, all we had was Slaves and Clanrats!...and auto-hit Ratling Guns...and skirmishing Jezzails...and 2D6 Warp Lightning...and Lead From The Back...wait, what was my arguement again? | |

most other war machines don't have a ward save, so they just break. |

I think that rule comes form the fact that the WLC is technically a chariot. Kind of.

No, phordicus. That rule only applies to Chariots. Anything that is a chariot, or counts as a chariot, is destroyed if hit by a strength 7+ shot. This includes stuff like the Screaming Bell, the Doomwheel, the Black Coach, and indeed the Warplightning Cannon. Warmachines are a lot tougher than chariots (T7 in most cases) and most definitely are not destroyed by strength 7 hits. This includes cannon, stone throwers, hellblasters, etc. |

"I have a post-Armageddon vision. We and all other large animals are gone. Rodents emerge as the ultimate post-human scavengers. They gnaw their way through New York, London and Tokyo... within 5 million years, a whole range of new species replace the ones we know. Herds of giant grazing rats are stalked by sabre-toothed predatory rats. Given enough time, will a species of intelligent, cultivated rats emerge?" Richard Dawkins, The Ancestor's Tale | |

But war machines can loose their crew. So you may manage to “hurt” the war machines whit low strength shooting. Remove the crew and they can’t fire the machine. |
