FAQ about the Dwarf Flame Cannon (DW2-AB)

Q If an attack is obviously based on fire (such as a Dwarf Flame Cannon's shot), but it was published before the term 'Flaming Attack' was formalised in seventh edition, does it count as a Flaming Attack or not? A. We cannot answer this question with an all-encompassing rule (as a few ruthless individuals out there would be sure to exploit it for their evil schemes!), but in three specific cases we can be more precise: hits from Flame Cannons, Warpfire Throwers and Salamanders' ranged attacks all count as Flaming Attacks.
