some more questions...

[phillipo9]

I know I ask a lot of questions but im still newish and I want to know everything exactly so I dont get it wrong.
If you have the answer to any of my questions, number your answer the same number that the question is. If the question im asking is NOT allowed to be answered specifically then please tell me the page number in the codex or the rulebook where I can find it.

1. I know what ''heavy'' weapons are for e.g: lascannon: heavy1 or autocannon:heavy2, my understanding is that these 2 weapons and any other heavy weapons that dont havy any other rule to them DONT use any blast templates which means they are only efficient against vehicles and some monstrous creatures, is that correct? Also do these kinds of weapons scatter? (simple question )

2. The weapons that have the ''blast'' rule, how do you know which blast template to use? (large or small)

3. You can only have 3 elite squads right?

4. how many stormtroopers can you have in 1 squad? How many ratlings can you have in 1 squad? (Ogryns is about 3-5 I think right?)

5. Do you need to have platoon/company command squad on the battlefield to be able to field heavy weapon teams? If yes, does it have to be a platoon command squad or a company command squad? And does it have to be a certain amount of inches from the heavy weapons team or can it be anywhere on the battlefield?

thats all, thank you in advance and exuse me for all my noobie questions...

1: If it doesn't say blast, or if it doesn't automatically get a template like barrage or ordinance or whatever, then it simply hits or misses...no scatter. Heavy is the same as Rapid Fire for the purposes of determining hit

2: Blast means small, large blast means big

3: In a normal game you must stick to the Force Organization Chart with the only requirements being 1 hq, 2 troops and maximums of every other slot

4: Read your codex in the army selection spot...it will say the minimum squad size and offer you points per model to add more if that is an option

5: Read the bit about platoons and what is included in them. These different units choosable in the single troops choice do not have to maintain coherency to each other....only within themselves

Seems like you need to just brush back up on the rulebook and codex. I'd read these both cover to cover again.
