Blasts onto elevated models

[feagaur]

Folks,

This came up in a game last night where Tuco shot the voodoo doll to get a double blast onto Sybelle (who was also hemmed by the doll). The questions arose with the hanged who was on a walkway almost directly above Sybelle. The hanged was approximately 1.5" away from the edge and the doll was approximately 1" from the edge at the bottom. The height of the walkway was 2" (so within the 3" for the rule book). Would the hanged have taken all, one or none of the blast damage too? (image attached hopefully gives you an idea)

For information the walkway was considered blocking terrain.

 

Any help would be gratefully accepted.

If the hanged can see the Voodoo doll, then it would be affected by the blast. 

 

A blast is placed by the Attacker so that it is touching the target’s base, but not overlapping it. If multiple blasts are generated (such as bb), each blast must be placed so that it is touching, but not overlapping, at least one other Blast Marker.

All models whose bases are touched or overlapped by one or more Blast Markers are affected, unless the model is more than 3” above or below the blast’s target.

A model cannot be affected by an aura or pulse that emanates from a location out of LoS. In addition, a model cannot be affected by a Blast Marker if the original
target of the blast effect is not within LoS of the model.

I don't quiet know why you think the damage of the hanged changed. If it is hit by one or more blast markers, then it will take damage at 1 level below the target, and then applies incorporeal as it is Sh damage.

Please tell the forum how you've defined the terrain in question so that they can answer your question.

Did you define the walkway so that models could see through through the floor of the walkway or not?
