Is there any agreement/reference re the base for the WLC ? I'm converting/modelling one at the moment and it would fit best on 50mmx100mm. Also, in regards to the WFT, can it cause a panic test on a Giant, if it wounds it? Giants are immune to panic from "little things" but is this a reference to Orc & Gobbos or just generic . . . and what would you class a WFT in this regard? |

The way we have played it, the WFT causes a panic test on the Giant, because the Little Things rule applies to panicing and fleeing units in the Giants army... like how Skavenslaves are expendable. |

On the first question: There was a playsheet thing with White Dwarf some time ago that answered all base size and unit strength questions. It said the Warplightning Cannon should be mounted on a 50X100 millimeter base. Which suits you fine, so it's all good. To answer the second question: [edite]Oops. Ignore this part and listen to Mutator[/edit] "Ignore Greenskin Panic" just means that he won't take tests if nearby friendly units are broken or destroyed. As those are the majority of panic tests inflicted, that means Giants will not usually panic, more so because he gets leadership 10 for the tests he does take. But he's fair game for the Warpfire Thrower. |

1. Using a chariot base is entirely appropriate for a WLC. 2. The WFT causes panic if it inflicts casualties, not wounds (Skaven p28 IIRC). |

So because it will only panic by the WLC if it kill someone else than the gaint. And because the Giant dont get panic because of the green-things he is kind of immune to panic in that situation

Not sure what you mean, but here is my answer to what I think you are asking: (1) If you hit a giant with a WLC, regardless of how many wounds you cause, there will never be a panic test, as you need casulties to cause a panic (and 25% at that). (2) If you hit a unit of 20 gobbos (4 ranks of 5) with a WLC and kill 4 guys, then you will cause a panic test in that unit. If they flee then units within 6" will also flee. But if the giant happens to be within 6" of a fleeing unit he will not panic because he ignores green skin panic. Finally, please not that if you hit a unit witj the WLC, the most you will kill, is one for every rank, regardless of how many guys the cannons path goes over. MR |

The question wasn't about a warplightning cannon, it was about a warpfire thrower. Yes, it confused me too at first. |

That is the panic question, refering to Warpfire Throwers and if they cause panic on a Giant. The answer to which is yes. |

The answer to which is no. (as mutator kindly pointed out, I got it wrong too.) |
