Austringer Clarifications

[SteelSaxon]

So, since the Austringer ignores LOS and Cover can he make a ranged strike against an engaged model without chance of hitting other models engaged with the target?

[Forar]

Far as I'm aware, no, attacking a figure engaged with others still requires an Austringer to make a shooting into melee check.

[NeuroFire]

I've thought before that since the raptors are trained birds, they should be able to get whatever target you want. However, the rationale of randomizing into melee is that the characters will be moving around trying to hit/block each other. The movement is what can make a shot hit a different target. Conceivably, a sudden movement could put a new target in the dive path of the bird, so Austringer shots must still be randomized.
