Aiming outside current Melle

[gera3d]

As a battle engin or a stormwall can you aim at a target outside the current melee combate your in? So I would be shooting at a model I am not in melee with.

The stormwall, or any colossal, can. A battle engine cannot unless it has the weapons platform rule.

[Crate123]

Do you mean the rules term aiming, as in forfeiting movement to gain +2 to attack rolls ? Colossals can not do that while in melee, doesnt matter who they shoot at.

[Valander]

If you normally have an ability that allows you to make ranged attacks while in melee, and no separate rule stating you cannot gain an aiming bonus, then you can.

Colossals:

A colossal can make ranged attacks while in melee. A colossal never suffers the firing in melee penalty when targeting a model it is in melee with.

A colossal cannot gain the aiming bonus while engaged.
