Sorry if this has been asked already but tbh I'm too lazy to trawl thru all the questions that have been asked already! Is it possible to fire wft into combat if the enemy are fighting skaven slaves? If the template touches non of you models do you still randomise?

Yes, provided the only troops from your side involved in the combat are slaves then you can shoot the WFT into that combat. With templates you hit what you hit otherwise you get the silly situation where the slaves are fighting a monster mutiple hits on the slaves gets randomised onto the monster.

I would think since its just a point and shoot weapon you could fire it into whatever you please regardless of who is in the combat. Since technically you arent declaring a target.

However it does say point it at your target, which makes me think that yeah, it has to be slaves.

My friends refuse to believe me when I say you can do this and I have to admit I'm not 100% convinced myself. What part of the rules overrides the skavenslaves rule that says you have to randomize all successful hits?

they removed the sentences about randomization from the expendable rule, when GW released the first 8th edition FAQ.

Randomization no longer exists with slaves :D

Unless of course you're using PWGs ;)

As tbone has already answered the question rules-wise, I'll point out that not randomizing can actually be disadvantage to the skaven in many cases. Otherwise you could just shoot the template so it hits a ton of slaves and then randomise.

Question about the WFT. It doesn't actually target anything you nominate a direction and then find out the range. So, you're not firing it into combat, you're just firing it. Is it illegal to nominate a direction that it might hit anything?

I believe the rule book talks about firing flame thrower type weapons, and that they cannot be positioned that they could hit their own units.

Don't quote me though.

A Warpfire Thrower is not technically a Flame-thrower type weapon, it uses it's own distinct rule-set. So the restrictions the BRB puts on a flame-thrower are moot.

So you could in theory fire off a warpfire thrower any direction you want?

I don't know for some reason that seems kinda sploitzy

In the rules for the WTF it stats that it has to be aimed at a target in line of sight. You can only target a unit if its not involved in combat (except skavenslaves). You can't just nominate a direction and let rip. There is nothing stopping you from aiming at a viable target, then 'accidentally' overshooting into another combat though.
