Heya, Adding a warpfire thrower.. just wanna check i understadn how to use it correctly.. i point, roll artilery, move template, those under template are hit.. those partialy under are hit on 4+.. when rolling to wound.. S5 vs model's toughness for each wound successful, roll d3 to see how many wounds model recieves (pretty much only if have more than 1 wound per model) correct? |

Yes, but I think that damage d3 is only used on characters and single models or chariots that have several wounds, not in units that have example 20 models in it. |

Aye, I'd always hoped that D3 would flow over into other models in the unit, but alas, I'm pretty sure it doesn't <_< |

also u only cause the d3 wounds on characters and such after they have failed their saves. i think yes/no? |

GW, sucking the fun out of the hobby since 1999. Never worry. Worst case scenario you die, and then there was no point worrying anyways. Skaven repaint overhaul Number 5! (2/5th complete) | |

That is correct. You deal D3 wounds AFTER the armour save has been failed. |

Just a couple of things that can be easy to forget when first using a WFT. When you stand and fire at chargers roll the dice & move the template BEFORE your opponent moves the chargers. Also, don't forget that it causes a Panic test if you cause a casualty. Have fun! |

Just a small point. As the shortest range you can have for a WFT is about 10", with only the last 3-4" inches really making much of a difference, and just as much chance that the range is going to be a good bit more, say 14-18", standing and shooting with a WFT isn't going to do much good against most chargers that aren't cavalry at full charge range. I would say the chance of self-distruction outways the benefit of shooting. (although the chance of panicing a uni charging at you is is tempting.) |

Though, if you blwo yourself up, it becomes a failed charge and they cannot overrun into anything behind. |
