Detachment Rule
Ceaseless Cannonade
The heaviest Astra Militarum vehicles are adamantine behemoths whose armour is almost impenetrable. The crews of these colossal war engines need have no concern for the integrity of their vehicles, unleashing even the most violently destructive ordnance at point-blank range.
Each time an Astra Militarum Titanic or Astra Militarum Squadron unit from your army is selected to shoot, models in that unit can target enemy units within Engagement Range of that unit (including with Blast weapons), provided no other friendly units are also within Engagement Range of that enemy unit. When doing so, such models do not suffer the penalty to their Hit rolls for being within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units (excluding attacks made with Indirect Fire weapons).
