Warhammer 40k 7th ed?

Thats what other sources have said. If you have skyfire then you always shoot snap shots at ground targets no matter if you have interceptor or not.

As if the Firestorm needed to get even WORSE :P

Ugg yeah, kind of disappointed I bought that thing now.

That said, Vindicare is now the best anti aircraft unit.

I wonder if this will make flyers fire snap shots at ground targets since they automatically have skyfire

No, since fliers can choose to skyfire or not at the start of their turn. Just like the Velocity Tracker for Tau allows them the choice, it will not force you to always skyfire.


I'm really curious how denial will go. Will deny the witch saves stay like they are, will you be able to throw warp charges at deny the witch to roll extra dice looking for that 6, or will it be a throw the dice to try to negate the power all together, or some combination of the above.

That's kind of what I was thinking, but then again it would limit the whole unbound helldrake only lists.

But the BRB says they choose to use skyfire, they still have skyfire ability. I would think it's for any unit with skyfire, not just those that choose to use the skyfire ability. But that rule is going to be weird for something like Eldar's missile launcher that has different missiles and only one with skyfire.

Well, skyfire is basically a weapon trait. Eldar missile launchers (or imperial missiles with flakk missiles purchased for them) are simple. Use the frag or krak missile? No problem. Choose to use the Flakk missile? It has skyfire, you you can only snapfire a flakk missile at ground targets.

Velocity trackers or fliers just decide whether or not to skyfire, and if they do, all their weapons get the skyfire trait for that turn.

The only difference from now is that skyfire + interceptor doesn't seem to let skyfire weapons weapons shoot at ground targets at full BS anymore, so quad guns and icarus lascannons basically become dedicated AA weapons rather than multipurpose guns.

I was more going with the train of thought of how I was assuming the new rule would work. How you're explaining it makes much more sense.

If this is true then I am a very happy bunny indeed!!

I have wanted to put my IG command squad in a Land Raider for ages. For no real reason, apart from it's cool!! I know I could have done it by running him as as Inquisitor, but I run Straken and the idea of him and Nork and a Chapter Master charging out fills me with glee!!!
