Mechanicum

Scornful Fire – This Advanced Reaction may be made once per battle during the Shooting phase when any enemy unit declares a Shooting Attack targeting a unit that includes a model with the Independent Character special rule under the Reactive player’s control which is part of the Mechanicum Detachment. The Reacting unit, and any friendly Mechanicum units eligible to make a Reaction within 12", may make a Shooting Attack, targeting the unit that triggered this Reaction and following all the usual rules for Shooting Attacks. Any unit that makes a Shooting Attack as part of this Reaction counts as having made a Reaction in this Phase. A unit that makes a Shooting Attack as part of a Scornful Fire Reaction may not make any attacks indirectly (without line of sight) including weapons with the Barrage special rule or other weapons or special rules that otherwise ignore line of sight, and Vehicles may only fire Defensive Weapons. Template weapons may only be used as part of a Scornful Fire Reaction if the target unit is within 8" and must use the Wall of Death rule instead of firing normally.
