McCabe's Net Gun

[Valtyr]

Hi all,

I was playing a game yesterday using my Relic Hunters for the first time, and I was unsure as to whether I was using McCabe correctly.

I had shot at a Witchling Handler who was surrounded by Witchlings. I managed to get a 'Severe' off on the Handler which, according to the card, is a 2 Dmg Blast + Paralyse. My question is, as the Handler was very close to the Witchlings when I placed the marker, would the Witchlings also suffer Paralyse, or would they only suffer the 'Moderate' of 2 Dmg + Slow?

I think that I am still stuck in the vein of 40K where I assume everyone under the initial blast template takes the same severity, and it is only if the blast 'flips' that the damage decreases. I think that this is quite possibly incorrect.

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure McCabe's net gun doesn't actually have a blast marker attached to it, but places a blast template (50mm base) that can cause slow if models touched by it fail a Df -> 12 test. If I am wrong (and that is a possibility I am perfectly willing to concede, as I am tired and do not have the card in front of me), then the would do moderate damage, or 2+Slow in this case.

I'm pretty sure that only the primary target gets paralyzed in the event of severe, as hippodruid said.

Anyone that is touched by a 50mm base from the original model you hit must do a Df 13 duel or receive slow, but they do not suffer damage.
