7th Ed. The Giant bow

[hellbreaker]

Hey, I got a question for you people here at Lustria about the Stegadon's Giant bow.
Question is as follows: If you roll a 6 to hit with the bow do you begin wounding at the starting strength of bolt throwers after the poisoned wound or subtract 1 from the strength as normal?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

the LM errata clears teh auto wound problem but that is not your question. the way i see it the 1st wound is automatic while the rest follow the normal rules for bolt throwers, thus the -1 strength

Yeah the poison hit causes the first model to be auto-hit with str 6. The next model you roll to wound off strength 5, and so forth to penetrate ranks..

Thanks for clarifying it for me. ^_^

Bibamus@ The question originated from the LM FaQ.

Cheers!

This.
Pretty much as a normal giant bow would but with poison strike ofc.

I'm afraid our bolts only have strength 5
