Where is the rule that units w/out any range weapons (like genestealers and=
lesser deamons) can snap fire. I thought only units with some sore of ran=
ge weapon could snap fire?

as is.
Under the Optional rules, Thunderhawks suffer 1/6 casualties
and t=
he rest suffer the delay of a turn. Gargoyles suffer 2/3
casualties and 1/=
3 have to be repaired/healed. Snap fire happens 1 at
a time, so it's quite=
ly likely to be driven off but not destroyed.
However, since there seems to=
be the silly 4 turn time limit in many
scenarios, this limits you to 1 pas=
s with your fliers.

But the problem with snap fire is that even Genestealers and
Lesser Daemon=
s get it. I mean, there's the long legs Chaos Card, but
this is ridiculous=
