Some new 6th rumours, how would they effect us?

What are precision shots? When a character rolls a 6 on a To Hit roll (while shooting or in combat) he makes a Precision Shot/Strike, which means he can allocate who the shot hits, ignoring the normal allocation process of hitting the closest model. A Hive Tyrant is classed as a character. 12 twin-linked Devourer shots can produce a lot of 6's. Special/heavy weapons wielders beware!  |

Do you have a time machine Nib? Or were you playing Fantasy? 8th edition?  Why wouldn't we play 6th ed when we have the 6th ed BRB? We forgot about Precision Shots (and a few other rules). Vector Strike sucks donkey d**k. 6th ed is awesome. |

Nib, in your previous post, you wrote 8th edition. Not that anyone cares. Good to hear that 6th edition is working out. The Vector Strike sounds like a cool idea, but is probably more a case of a gimmicky signature rule, rather than an effective way of kicking ass. Can't wait for the FAQ to be released.

Oh I see, lol I was dead tired and there's been a lot of cross referencing with WFB lately.

Did you try vector strike against infantry? I don't see it being any good against vehicles....
I haven't checked again, but I believe you can Vector Strike one unit, and then Shoot a different unit.
