Vladimyr <morbid_at_...> came forth and spoke thusly:
>1. The Land Raider Anti Tank Shots. Do they count as:

> or one 8 point super heavy barrage (giving 1 blast marker)
None of the above. They count as 8 super-heavy weapons, giving 1
blast marker.
>2. The way I read the rules my gargant always fired last because it was a

It fires after infantry, and can fire before or after other war engines.
>3. Being used to normal epic, I'm a little confused by the definition of hit.
> Does it mean - Gaze of Gork hits on a 2+. Does it cause a wound on a 2+?
> Or do I have to roll the armour save after? The way I read it hit means

Let me guess, you used to play 40K? The 'to hit', 'to wound' and 'armour
save' rolls are combined into the 'armour value' of a unit. Land
raiders, for example, have an AV of 6, meaning that when you shoot, you
need a 6 to kill them. The Death Ray always hits (i.e., always kills) on
a 2+.
>4. Also, with the gargant (or any other thing with multiple shots), do you

>Or do they have to shoot at the same detachment?
All shots must be declared before you shoot.

Why 6? Gargants have an AV of 5. This could be why it was so easy...
