What's the utility? to hit a target you should roll 3 times the scatter
dice, and hit all the time... this is equivalent of tree 5+ result... a
little too difficult IMHO!!! and in older version if the template caught a
Daemon this is destroyed without chance, neither spending cards, and this
should be noted. Also this should be noted as an psychic ethereal attack.

Add that must be fired in a straight line from the upper edge, not in 90%
arc of fire. And if hit a wood?

I've a Variant to add!!!!

Anti-Grav Scatter Laser
like lascannon but with anti infantry role:
mov 10 cm, range 50cm, THR 4+, ST 0, Attack dice 2.
Range, and ST reduced, added Attack dice and cost unchanged.
