Ramos - Summon the Swarm - LOS

[G3ck0___]

Does Ramos need LOS to a scrap counter to use the 'Summon the Swarm' tactical action?

 

The spell doesn't explicitly say to target a scrap marker but states to summon the spiders within 2" of the target scrap marker.

 

This came up when Lilith dropped a forrest between Ramos and a scrap marker denying LOS to it. I assume others have encountered this with other masters able to drop blocking/dense terrain markers.

 

We played it that he could do it for the pupose of a balanced game, but is this technically correct? I would think he couldn't use the scrap marker because he can't target it without LOS.

Yes the intention is LOS is to the target scrap marker from which the spiders will be summoned. Target always indicates LOS is needed.

To target a thing you need LOS.

For further clarification: you don't just need LoS to the target Marker but you also need LoS to the summoned model(s) too.

 

 

If summoning is the result of an Action, the summoned model must be placed within LoS to the acting model.

tnx to all for the clarifications.
