1) got it. problem is, common sense telling me that at least Warlord is clearly taller than forest, but mind replyes that there's logic and balance thing in that rule.
2) I mean that when I'm shooting, there's no infantry to place hits. so one possibility is that shots are wasted. another - that shooting takes some time and AP weaponry still hits those SMs, who crawl from their vehicle in panic )
which one is right?
3) I didn't mean "I march" I mean that
1) when I need markers on those titan/SHT/etc, I need to get within 30cm and do not use march(as marching units cannot light up the targets)
2) so I need to use either advance(move 35 and shoot) or double(move 70 and shoot with -1)
3) as only weaponry of tetra is pulse rifle with ap5+ it's not so good to use against anyone
4) as I'm near to titan/SHT/etc, I can shoot and at least BM them)

thanks, anyway

Yes.  Every point of damage to a WE causes a roll to critical, regardless of source.  Even a bonus point of damage from a critical can cause another critical and "chain reaction" a WE to death.

Is there any good way to deal with big formation of LemanRusses? 4+ reinforced armour makes my Hammerheads cry for help, even broadsides  on sustain can't deal significant damage to that beasts. is CC the only possible way?

This may be an incredibly stupid question, but can a unit fire all of its weapons during a shooting action, or does it have to pick one?

Typically yes.

Well some weapons might have an OR mode, where you'd have to decide which mode to use, or it might have an Arc that can't see the target, but typically, yes.

Ok, I'm sure this is just my reading comprehension skills letting me down, but I have no real idea how to interpret the titan weapon options.

For instance, the Warlock:

2x missile launch
1x psychic lance

OR

0-1 titan pulsar
0-1 power fist
OR (fist mounted lasers)
OR (fist attack)

So, generally speaking, what does that mean? I can take the first two weapons listed, or a pulsar and power fist, or a pulsar and either fist mounted lasers or fist attack? And why would the pulsar and power fist be 0-1? Presumably i can only take one of each anyway.

I have no idea how to read that...

The Phantom is:

2x missile launcher
1-2 titan pulsar
0-1 power fist
OR (fist mounted lasers)
OR (fist attack)

so presumably i get two missile launchers and can take either two pulsars or a pulsar and either a power fist, fist mounted lasers, or fist attack? Gah.

We'll start with the Power Fist first.

What this means is that the Power Fist has *three* modes of operation:

1) Shooting attack: 6 x AP4+/AT4+

So six shots from the fist.

2) Firefight attack: (Fist Mounted Lasers) (15cms) Small Arms, Extra Attacks (+3)

This grants three extra Firefight attacks

3) Close Combat attack: (Fist Attack) (Base Contact) Assault Weapons Extra Attacks (+2), Titan Killer D3

This is two extra close combat attacks that do D3 Titan-killer hits per successful attack.

The "OR" means you've got to choose *which* mode of operation you're using each time you attack with the Titan; the shooting attacks can only be used for, you guessed it, shooting attacks.  While in an assault, you are required to decide whether the Power Fist is supplying close combat OR firefight attacks.

Does that make sense?

For instance, the Warlock:

That makes perfect sense, and, as I suspected, it was my inability to read the fine print. I was always the kid who would fail the grade school test when the teacher would talk about reading directions and then pass out a set of problems with fine print directions saying "do not answer these questions."

Thanks.

is it just me, or do none of the figures actually fit into the slots on square bases?

are there any tried and true simple methods?

Edge clipping with either sprue-cutters or a fingernail clipper has been what I've used to get the bases to fit in square bases.

I simply force them into the holes, pushing on the base of the mini itself with a pair of files. This usually keeps them in place without having to glue them, which has come in handy on those rare occasions when I decide to change the composition of the stand.
