Subject: Rules Inquiry

 

Does the Blood Angels Vindicator's Demolisher cannon fire a large blast template or a single, non-blast shot?

The rules at the base level seem to imply that it fires the blast template, but I would appreciate a quick yes or no from Games Workshop to confirm this to the people who think otherwise.

Thanks for your time,
Rob Sims

It's good to see that common sense eludes some people in this store.  Between common sense, a close examination of the rules (the heading problem I showed to Chase), and finally this, I hope people can just... shut the hell up.  I'll gladly print out a screenshot of the email for anybody who worries that they will play against petty opponents until the FAQ is released.

Well played, sir...

YES PRAISE SANGUINUS!!! VICTORY AT LAST! i just got soooooo happy   

in your face over logical smart people with rules-savvy

I think someone should ask them that same question again and see how they reply.

[skavengear]

i actually got the same email, i sent back "even the blood angel one?" to make sure, but just think, why should we have to pay 30 more for a less effective vehicle? the defense was it doesnt scatter, but a template like that is often far worse.

i challenge evryone i played with the wimpy vindicator to a rematch for veneance and honor!

GW's rules people are notoriously inconsistent.  I think the email hurts your arguement.

You and Rich are thinking of the days when people would call the shipping centers and ask them questions.  They would talk to the people whose only connection to the rules were that they sat around all day reading codexes because they had nothing else to do between organizing shipments.  This person is not the same as them.

Further, a member on a discussion on BolterandChainsword about this emailed Paul S (I can't remember his last name at the moment), a name listed IN the Blood Angels codex and got the same answer.  You gonna tell me he isn't reliable either?

I'm pretty sure I've found that even RAW supports that it's a blast, I just liked that this was extra support to it.  And I really hope nobody at Battleground will ever deny someone their blast now.

As an aside, the 4th ed. BA codex (the White Dwarf pdf) never had blast either.  I don't remember any problems being raised then.

This is why we must get Orly Taitz elected, so she can fix that!

[skavengear]

is it really SO horrific to allow blood angels to have a blast like every other space marine. its common sense. were still space marines at heart and im sure that we would use the same weapons as vanillas, we just have lucifer engines that cost more.

i dont understand how people find the stuff in my codex broken, sure we have cool stuff, but so does everybody else. theres nothing i see that threatens anyone more then stuff in other codexes. whats the big deal we have mixed up orginisation slots? is that the worst gw can do?

[Serring]

is that the worst gw can do?

Not by a long shot.
