pixelante Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I tried searching for the answer to my questions, but either I didn't know what to look for or the answer wasn't there, I suspect the former. 1. Can a model claim soft vocer when the LoS is interrupted by a friendly model in front of it? 2. What if the firendly model is getting cover from terrain? 3. Is a minion allowed to kill a friendly minion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is a minion allowed to kill a friendly minion? 1 Whilst a model can block line of sight, they do not provide cover, so if you can see the model at all behind the other model, then you can shoot it. Technically it doesn't have the blocking trait or obscurign trait required to provide cover 2 If there is a line of sight between the attackign model and the defending model you can ignore the intervening model for determining cover. You can't ignore what ever is giving the model cover. 3 yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Bruglyother Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 The one exception to #1 is the new strongarm suit which explicitly states that it grants cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kadeton Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 On #1, bizarrely other models actually do have the Blocking trait, but they are explicitly called out as not providing cover. It's a weird sort of rules hack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Omenbringer Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 For reference #1 can be found on page 18 of the 1.5 edition Malifaux book under "Model Sizes" and page 20 under "Blocking Trait" and "Obscuring Trait" for how it works.
