Lillith Master of Malifaux question

[ndavis678]

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere but this question came up in a game at my local game store and i wanted to get a clarification.

Lillith who is out of LOS to a Silurid is trying to case a spell on him. Sillurids ability says,

Silent: Models cannot ignore LoS or cover when targeting this model.

Lilliths ability is as follows.

Master of malifaux: This model is not affected by severe or hazardous terrain and does not need LoS to target models with Charge or Ca. actions.

So, can Lillith target the enemy sillurid?

Sticky bit of rules interaction there!

My interpretation would be that Lilith can still target the Silurid as she is not ignoring LOS she just never needs it to begin with. I would base this solely on the fact that her master of malifaux does not literally use the word ignore.

I would love to hear an official answer on this one.

That's pretty much how i interpreted it but i still wanted to ask and make sure. Thanks for your input, i hope we can get something official on this as well.

Compared to Sonnia Criid's Visions of Flame, "Attack Actions this model takes against targets with the Burning Condition ignore LoS and cover." Clearly, Sonnia is Ignoring LoS and cover, and could not do so against a Burning Silurid.

Conversely, Lilith simply does not need LoS. Fine distinction yes, but I'd agree Lilith can target the Silurid just fine.
