Man... this is getting pretty serious. With the new 5th ed true line of sight rules, I guess the coming of laser-pointers were inevitable. But seriously... wow.

Laser pointer is not gonna happen

[ZergLord]

It's ridiculous.

The only good reason to use it is on tournaments, where it could prevent quarells concerning LOS (there will always be cheating munchkins).

[Psychichobo]

If anyone's going to accuse me of not looking from model to model properly enough to demand using a laser pointer, then I'm probably not gonna play with them anyway...

[Enigma]

I picked so so just because it looks cooler than most laser pointers.

...I'm weird like that.

[T Spear_Chucker]

I've picked so-so because some ppl just have slanted vision (eg. when dealing with scatter dice, LOS, measurements, etc.) but also because it's a rather extreme measure of fixing this problem (but I guess the only real way).

[Deleted]

It's ridiculous; if two people can't resolve the issue sensibly (or failing that resorting to a coin toss) then they're either taking the game too seriously or they're simply not very mature.

Sort it out.

I'd buy it just because I like waggling laser pointers at walls and staring at them for hours.

Seriously, try it some time. It's hypnotic.

But yeah in a game I'd probably use it to save myself having to keep bending down to get a models eye view (which gets tiring when your 6'4").

Ive been given a laser pointer thats actually small and can fit in my pocket, so something that bulky is pointless.

As to using a laser pointer in games I will just because its quicker... I play people for fun and we dont argue about things like that but its just faster and surer... And it means fair play for all without even a chance of arguments occuring.

[Sledgehammer]

I voted mostly yes, because I play mostly tournaments...

[Elaitor]

Well, a situation arose today where a laser pointer would have been actually cool. We were trying to figure out how much of interevening terrain there was, but in the end we just applied what the rulebook says; when in doubt, use ****

HAH! Like I'm going to write what the rulebook says ;D

[flyingspoon]

I don't really see a point in the laser pointer as if you wanted you could just buy a cheap laser pen and crosshair cap for about one shiny english pound

[genestealer1414]

i said so-so cuase it looks BA. its a BAMF

[The Tomato]

10$... thats 60 crowns, you can get a perfectly good less bulky one for 25 crowns, and it would have 20 different heads to choose between...

Still, no worries?

What I find funny, is the book touts how great it is to get down to a model eye view of things, how it gets you in the game, etc etc, then they are basically saying "Screw all that, buy our laser pointer"
