"40K Rules Question: Barrage " Topic

"I have recently been looking at my Heretics and Renegades force and thinking what I would like to add to the force in the future. And purely from a background perspective for the traitors, I would like to add in some artillery pieces, both tanks and actual artillery. However looking over the rules, an issue has come up that I would like your help with.

Reading over the barrage rules it seems rather clear to me, but I have been looking online and talking to people at my club and a few have a different interpretation of the rules than me. So I would like to see your takes on these.

Now the barrage rules themselves are quite easy, it's when it comes to multiple barrages is when it becomes more interesting. I will go over the rules to make sure we are all on the same page. When firing multiple barrages we fire the closest model first and find out where it lands. Then for each extra shot we scatter to see where it lands based on the original shot. So in picture 1, the darker blast is the original shot, and the other two scatter off in relation to it…"

Yes you would place the templates as noted.

But your opponent models will only get cover saves if the weapon that fired the barrage allows for them.

Most don't so no cover save.

Also since they are all fired at the same time models can only be wounded once from the barrage.

GW has really screwed up wound allocation in the latest edition so many players are working up ways to game the system.
