First question then: Impact Hits against War Machines

#1 Post by Silver »

8th Edition of course, War machines have a merged profile with the crew.
In Close Combat, as far as I know, you use the Crew's Toughness while for Magic and Shooting, you use the war machine's toughness....

However we (my opponent and I) didn't know how to resolve Impact Hits - they are not shooting but they are distributed as shooting and as there no longer is any randomization, which Toughness should be used? Back in 7th edition (yeah its going to take a while to adjust) you'd randomize impact.


Hmm~ I have a feeling its crew's T but I could be wrong!

Ah, that's interesting. I don't think I knew combat used the crew's toughness. So eagles won't be so bad at killing them as I thought. :)

I'd agree with it using the crew's toughness if it doesn't say otherwise, since it's still due to combat even if it's distributed like shooting. Although aren't wounds distributed the same way anyway in 8th?
