Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 All right brothers a question came up when it comes to smoke launchers. Can a dreadnought advance (looking the ability to shoot) and then pop smoke. It was my opponent who tried this and I allowed because I can't see a specific rules reason to forbid it. Unless you have to be able to shoot to instead use smoke launchers. What are your thoughts my brethren? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 My 2 cents... The Smoke Launcher description says "Once per game, instead of shooting any weapons in the shooting phase... blah blah blah". You can't shoot if you advance so you can't do an action that occurs instead of shooting either. I can't see anything on the Dreadnought Data Sheet that would allow it to advance and shoot so I'd say he got one by you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 That's definitely my interpretation after the fact but it still seems somewhat arguable the other way. It didn't change the game much as it ate 3 lascannon off my predator regardless of the -1 and promptly died before getting it's multi melta near anything of consequence.

Deadnaughty Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 This was answered in the Faq. You are allowed to use smoke launchers if you are not allowed to shoot (because of advancing) Rune Priest Jbickb and Valerian 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 There you go! I'm not used to FAQ's so soon after rules. I forgot to check there. I stand corrected! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Huh I thought I looked in the FAQs, which is it in? (Mostly because my dreads will be using this mist every T1). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadnaughty Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Huh I thought I looked in the FAQs, which is it in? (Mostly because my dreads will be using this mist every T1). Rulebook faq, page 3, right side, 3e question https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/07/02/warhammer-40000-faq-now-available-july2gw-homepage-post-1/ Q. Can abilities that are used ‘instead of shooting’, such as Smoke Launchers, be used if the model using them has Fallen Back, Advanced or has enemy models within 1" of it? A. Yes. A model can use such an ability so long as it does not shoot – it does not matter whether this is because the model cannot shoot or it chooses not to.

Rune Priest Jbickb Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 Cool thanks mate. I looked through both imperium ones and didn't think to check the main rulebook one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
