Yeah the FAQ didn't cover any of these questions.
thanks confirms what i thought, that you could hit targets in combat with the ray. Wording is the ray causes a hit on the unit for each model in that unit undert the line, so say the line crosses 2 paladins and one necron, the paladins would take two hits, and the necrons one hit. I think normal wound allocation would happen once wounds are rolled for.
'2 and 3) You say how far you want, say 9" measure 9" thats your first point, then roll the 3d6, measure to the point you want and that's your second line giving you the distance of the shot.'
hadn't thought of doing it that way but makes a lot of sense.
Point 4: I was actually meaning that when i fire the tesla i can only fire it at a unit not in combat but hit by the death ray, since the tesla follows normal shooting rules. Regarding the arcing due to the destructor: it would definitely hit a unit in combat on a 6. I think this would hit both units in the combat and I would roll a d6 for each side to see how many S5 hits they take?
