IG Tank weapons

I'm not sure if this has been asked before, and I'm sorry if it has. But i was just wondering what size blast the IG Battle Canon and the basilisk uses.

I'm only asking this cause i think its the small blast marker, but I read a battle report today where some IG player managed to hit a full 20man necron squad with his one leman russ and killed the entire squad. Is this possible?

They use the ordinance blast marker which is the large one. So yes theoretically it is possible to kill a full 20 man squad of necrons if they have them bunched together.

Wherever it says ordnance blast, it means the large blast template. Bear in mind that something using the large blast template doesn't mean it'll always scatter, though (like our beloved strangler, for one).

Mmmkay, thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought because the weapon description said blast that it uses the small blast template. But i guess it just means it goes boom... Thanks for the help.

Here's another question which is kind of off topic from this one. Everytime we play so far we take the number of turns indicated in each scenario as player turns and not game turns.
But this really doesnt make sense to me... Are we doing it as horribly wrong as i suspect, or are we doing it right for some odd reason?
