(ADJUSTED) The Shooting Phase - How to Play Age of Sigmar 2nd Edition Ep 4

[@ratdoller77]

Only thing i can think of to improve these is to just have models that don't ignore a lot of the main rules like rend so you dont have to keep going "these guys have ____ but lets ignore that" I get nighthaunt are the most obvious due to them being in the starter collection but them ignoring modifiers probably wasn't the best choice since you have to keep going "but ignore this" it might confuse new players you could have used almost any other model to show being shot at.

[@miniwargaming]

I agree! I chose these models as they are part of the two iconic races for 2nd Edition, but then regretted it later...

[@joenzzzieswd6321]

It was confusing for me .-. Yet the video was very helpful. I’d like to know though, can katapult units and archers fire every single shooting turn?

[@oathstoned3414]

Example of line of sight would help

[@baylyshelton6452]

Hi , thanks for a very clear explanation. I just have one question about shooting within three inches vs being in combat , Does this mean the unit can shoot a unit they are in combat with in their shooting phase before attacking in the combat phase ? I didn’t think a unit could move within three inches of another unless it had charged it / had piled in Seams strange to me if a unit can shoot and fight in the same turn. I used to play old school fantasy , but have started to build a couple of sigma armies this year and am trying to pick up the subtle differences in the game play. Thanks for all the great content.

At the end with your example in allocating wounds- what if they did 2 wounds? Would that 1 unit "absorb" the extra wound?

[@Vancity3]

Question - You say that the judicators 'to hit' is 5+, however the card your showing says 3+.... What am I missing here?

[@Bassmunchkin1]

I thought this, I think it was a slip of the tongue

[@jezrieldokker8430]

And the resulting hits were 3+ so must be an error

[@dustinboatman6134]

Question, so basic units can all have different weapons equipped? I am assuming you handle it like you did with the special hero? Another question from looking at warscrolls, do the big hero/monster models all have every weapon listed on their card? Or that's just options you can add to them to meet certain point totals? The reason I ask is because a few models had obviously superior attacks over other ones, and if they had access to every attack it made me wonder why you would ever choose one over the other. I hope that wasn't confusing, lol. Awesome video!

[@gawayne1374]

To wound rolls are fixed? That sounds a bit broken.

[@cameron2448]

Believe me it's not.

[@gawayne1374]

@@cameron2448 it is. Miniwargamming discussed the problem of hordes being too effective because of this. So large groups of weak enemies can wreck your large, powerful units.

[@D1gital-ZER0]

Is there anything about shooting into a close combat or shooting while in close combat?

[@krimson4980]

He talked about it. You are considered in combat if you are with in 3 inches of an enemy unit so you can shoot but you have to shoot at them. Alternatively, you can now shoot a unit even if its in combat with a friendly unit. This is going to be hard to remember for all of us old Warhammer and/or 40k players

[@MrSolidsnake293]

What happens when a units minimum Missile range is further than within 3" is the Missile unit by description now able to shoot lower than its minimum Missile range at the unit within 3" ?

[@chillicommand9344]

Can you target characters/hero’s if they are not the closest unit? (40k player here :p)

[@W0470053]

3 minute mark- "other than that they're free to fire at anything within range" so you're good to spread the love to whatever you want

[@ThatWildcard]

Just some units get something similar to "look out sir!" for example many heroes in gloomspite gitz have a -2 to getting hit when in 3" to larger units

[@brianbowles3444]

How does shooting effect if a unit is on a scatter plot that's 3" tall shooting down and vice-versa? The video is great but all the examples of shooting and melee are all based on flat ground. Please explain how its effected with terrain ie terrain features and regular scatter at varying sizes/hieghts.

[@thewendigo5836]

Can you shoot a enemy unit if it is in combat with a friendly unit

[@rme2986]

So shooting is different than 40K? In AoS if I have 2 successful hits at 2 dmg each against 10 models 1 wound each, then 4 die? In 40K only 2 models would die and the extra 2 dmg would be lost.

[@miniwargaming]

Yes it is different, as is close combat. Damage carries over in Age of Sigmar.

[@kodybennett4694]

Anyone at miniwargaming or in the comments know how you double d3 wounds? Is it roll two d3's or double what you roll on one?

[@miniwargaming]

You roll the D3 and then double it.

[@Hammerponcho]

So a d6?

[@thornback82]

Can you shoot when your troops are already in combat?

[@miniwargaming]

Yes, but only at another unit within 3" of your own.

[@russianFB7442]

So if its ur turn and your troops are already in combat... you still do ur shooting phase before the actual combat. Is this correct?

[@AL-pw2gn]

First... Don't judge me

[@OhManTFE]

Congrats mate you earned it

[@TheFearsomeRat]

Can confirm this person is first, however we shall judge them anyway :P (once a Inquisitor arrives)

[@bryanbarcelo5440]

why wait? just virus bomb the planet they're on... *WAIT*
