Template and invisibility

[sunnyrobert]

Invisibility causes a unit to be shot at only using snapshot

Snapshots do not allow template or blast to hit the unit

What if the blast scatter and hits the model with invisibility?

Or if you angle the template to hit a legal target and touch the model under invisibility?

Thanks

This was talked about on the Forge The Narrative podcast, and they decided it was perfectly legit. I can't see any way it wouldn't be- go ahead

hard to do the second,

Both regular and torrent weapons need to maximize potential on the target squad

Yea this can make it tricky, best case scenario I see is shooting "past" invis unit into another that you just in range of one. With a max potential of one gives you a little flex to position over invisible unit. Requires really good positioning and some lax positioning on your opponents part

Both seems to be accepted as legit in all the places I have heard it discussed.

it cannot be targeted by templates, but it can still be hit by them if something else is targeted

Easiest way is hitting a vehicle nearby, either in front or behind. Waveserpents for example you can see underneath and flame their feet quite easily at any angle you like since you'll always hit the 1 vehicle, even if you can't realistically damage it.

The more contentious issue is wall of death. You must snap shot so normal overwatch is fine, however wall of death is a special overwatch and NOT snap shooting so you shouldn't be able to do it yet people will try to.

Does this apply to fliers too??

Thanks gents....goodie theres a workaround on that OP (imho :-) ) psychic power: invisible iks? Yeesh

Flying vehicles are totally immune. Swooping FMC cannot be targeted but can be hit, which is a change from 6th.

i wonder if this was another oversight from GW on flyers being able to be hit.
