Chaplain Elijah Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Yesterday i had a Contemptor with Lascannon trying to shoot at a Ork character. Between the two models there was a ongoing Close Combat between two infantry units. The Ork player said i couldn't shoot at his character because he wasn't the closest. I said i couldn't shoot at the closest unit because it was in Combat so the character become the closest target. What is the correct interpretation of the rules ? Thanks in advance. Note : i was in a inverted situation one week ago against a veteran who shooted at my character while there was a closest CC unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 The fact that you can't shoot at the closest target, whether it's due a close combat or lack of Line of Sight, doesn't allow you to shoot at the character, so the Ork player is right.

Slasher956 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Q: If a model cannot shoot at the closest visible enemy unit for some reason (e.g. it is within 1" of one of your units) but the next closest visible enemy unit is a Character, can that model then target the character? A: No. page 4 of the rulebook FAQ https://www.warhammer-community.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/warhammer_40000_rulebook_en.pdf Panzer and Oxydo 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
