Is the Warp Lightning Cannon able to shoot through obstacles and does it need LOS?
Rules are from the Renegades document.
At this point I can't find a rule that forbids me from shooting this thing through hills/trees and so on. The rule "Crunch" comes directly from "Cannon Fire" which is a special rule that is directly listed in the unit entry of cannons.
I also can't quite figure out if I need to see a target or not. As of now I understand it like this: I take 8 D6, see how far it goes, then I draw a line according to the inches rolled and everything that lies underneath it gets hit. No matter where it is. Unless I would not have been able to target a character model cause it's too close to a unit with the same unit type.
At this point, even with the Renegade Update I'm finding the WLC quite underwhelming compared to older editions. This would redeem them a little bit. I was treating them like my imperial cannons and after re-reading the rules I wondered if I have missed something obvious.
