Gnoblar Sharp Stuff !!

Can some one help me with my Gnoblar "Sharp Stuff"
How does it work? is 2xmulti shot strength 2 for each unit or rank?
It would be good if it was each gnoblar!!!

well, its spelled out pretty cleraly in the ogre book and in the brb under thrown weapons

basically:

gnoblars can throw sharp stuff  - 2 shots (with the multi-shot penalty) for each gnoblar in the front rank (or everyone if we're talking about trappers as skirmishers don't blok LoS).  they take no penalty for move and shoot or for long range.

all gnoblars in a unit CAN throw sharp stuff if the target is a large target.  who knows, some of it may even do some damage

So, each gnoblar in the front rank (or all for skirmishers) can fire 1 shot with NO Penalty or 2 x Multiple shots with -1 to hit?

So a unit of 30 (x1 rank) can Potentially throw 600 bits of Sharp Stuff with a -1 to hit penalty? This seems pretty devastating for a 2 point model!

Also, do I roll artillery dice for each model, or once for whole rank?

I need to know coz I decimated a 500 point T.K army with gnoblar skirmishers and he's not to happy about their abilities! I had alot of good dice on that one though, they all hit!!

that would be 60 shots, not 600!!

and there would be an excellent chance of most of a line of 30 being outside the 8" range and therefore unable to shoot.

No need to post multiple posts about this... I locked the other thread (in which you asked the same exact thing). I'll see where this leads, and see what to do.
cheers

I saw one guy field a unit of 80 (I kid you not) Trappers once.

Quite possibly the biggest waste of points ever.

All the dice you get may sound impressive, but let's assume you are charged by a unit of Knights. You get 160 shots hitting on 6s (27 hits), wounding on 5s (9 wounds) and then the opponent saves on 2s (a bit more than one dead knight). Then the knights defeat you in combat and you can kiss your 640 VP unit goodbye.

Ummm... You don't roll the artillery dice at all. Hence, there is no potential to be scoring 10 hits per shot.
