Stronghold Assualt - starter for 10.

[Denzark]

Hello chaps

Some early rules queries:

1. Can buildings/fortifications ever attract a cover save? I am just thinking some of the smaller fortifications can by themselves several sections of 6" barricades or razor wire which have to be placed within 6" and were they to be treated like vehicles would give a cover save.

2. The Vengeance Weapons battery can substitute an Icarus Quad Cannon. the rules for this quad cannon state: 'Emplaced weapons on a Firestorm redoubt...' thus making weapons with Skyfire choose flyers as primary targets. If you swap the weapon to a vengeance battery, do you think this rule still applies as a battery is not a firestorm redoubt, or do we need to wait for FAQ?



Cheers,

1). Yes, theoretically, but those would have to be some huge barricades (except maybe to cover a Bunker), and you're never going to be able to cover 25% of a building with razor wire. It's too thin. Best way to grant a building a cover save is with wargear or a special rule like a kustom force field or spore cloud.

2). The rules for the quad Icarus lascannon don't state a damn thing. The rules for the Firestorm Redoubt do. That means if you buy it a quad-gun or single Icarus lascannon from the Battlements & Battlefield list, they'd use the Primary Target rule too. And if you buy a quad Icarus lascannon for your Vengeance Weapons Battery, it wouldn't.

Stronghold Assault gives standard cover save numbers for most of the added fortifications, ect.
