hello friends,
I'm learning 8th edition for the first time, and doing it alone without a local community. So I really have a hard time disambiguating some rules, even basic ones.
Today's question:
If a model has A=2 (two attacks) and also Multiple Shots(2), can the model fire 2 or 3 attacks in total? I've learned that Multiple Shots doesn't stack with itself, but is it additive on top of the usual A value??
My intuition is no, and that multiple shots(2) is a waste on a model with A>1, BUT I heard some talk in a youtube video that seemed to imply they might stack...
Yes, I've already searched the forum and google for answers, to no avail.

Yes, I've already searched the forum and google for answers, to no avail.The attacks characteristic is only used in close combat, it does not affect shooting. The multiple shots rule meanwhile only affects shooting so they don't stack. In your example the Multiple shots (2), A=2 unit would have 2 shooting attacks and 2 attacks in close combat. cheers

Whoa that's a rude awakening. Makes sense though.
Thanks man!

Here's another noob question for you:
Can a sniper snipe the upgraded "champion" of a unit? I understand the musician/standard-bearer has their equipment picked up as per usual, but can the champion just be sniped?

Yes the champion of a unit can be targeted by a model with the Sniper special rule. As per page 75 of the BRB: "The Sniper can shoot at any model he can see, including characters or champions within a unit and so on - the controlling player simply declares which model will be the Sniper's target - "Look out Sir!" cannot be taken".

Hey dangerpants, just wanted to agree with the posts above. It sucks that my character with six attacks can only fire a bow once but such is life. Long live the Reaver Bow for High Elves...my skaven want one...

So I decided to lump all my learner questions here instead of making bunch of new threads.
I appreciate all your help also, guys, since I really don't have any local community to ask, heh.
NEXT QUESTION: Does Magic Resistance work against magical attacks (such as normal close combat attacks from demons which are always considered magical), or is magic resistance ONLY specifically for SPELLS?

MR is only against spells. The banner of the broken dragon from HE book protects against ALL magic attacks. Which means daemons cannot touch them at all. LOL

More importantly Dangerpants where are you and can we hook you up through EEFL with a training game?

You still get stomps and thunderstorms as they do not benefit from special rules.

More importantly Dangerpants where are you and can we hook you up through EEFL with a training game? So, I live 3 weeks each month in Los Angeles, and 1 week each month in MN (where my parents live). I fly back and forth every month. All my game stuff is in MN. I tried brining it to L.A. but traveling with warhammer minis is wayyy too much of a pain. I broke stuff literally every time. Sooo that's the tough part. I'm in MN at most 10 days each month. ... Anybody in here from MN?
