Blast (X)

Before rolling To Hit with a Blast weapon, place the 3" Blast marker or 5" Blast marker (determined by the number in brackets) so that its central hole is completely over the target model’s base and within line of sight of the attacking weapon, and no part of the marker is touching any friendly models. Then, check to see whether the central hole is within range and arc. If it is not within arc, the shot is wasted and has no effect. If it is not within range, do not roll To Hit. Instead, draw an imaginary 1" wide line between the chosen target and the attacking unit, placing the central hole of the Blast marker along this line a number of inches away from the attacking unit equal to the weapon’s Long range characteristic – each shot scatters as follows: Once the marker has been placed, roll To Hit as normal. If the roll is successful, the marker is not moved; otherwise, roll the Scatter dice and move the Blast marker D10" in the direction that is shown - if a Hit is rolled, use the small arrow to determine the direction of scatter. Note that the Blast marker can scatter out of the Titan’s line of sight, or out of the weapon’s range or arc this represents the shot ricocheting or blasting clear through intervening terrain. The centre of the firing Titan’s base should still be used as a reference point to determine which of the target’s arcs is hit. Whether or not the marker moves, each model that is touched by the marker is hit once. If the central hole of the Blast marker is fully over a model’s base, that model is hit twice. If a Blast weapon has a Dice value of 2 or more, make each Hit roll separately (scattering any missed shots individually). If more than one model is hit, the attacking player chooses the order in which to resolve them. Blast weapons cannot make Targeted Attacks. If a Titan targets a unit with a weapon that has both the Blast (3"/5") and Carapace traits, and that unit is within a number of inches equal to the firing Titan’s Scale (i.e., cannot be targeted), the attack automatically misses. If that is the case, place the central hole of the Blast template a number of inches away from the firing unit equal to the unit’s Scale — draw a line from the firing weapon directly though the target unit to determine where the hole lands, then scatter the template.
