In the Tyranid Codex on page 54, under Limited Sentience the entry for a Mycetic Spore says:
On page 30 of the BRB, under BLAST, it says:
Both rules are definitive. Neither allows for an "if possible" scenario.
I've had opponents tell me that it cannot fire. I've had opponents tell me it fires and hits itself.
Neither type of opponent could back it up with rulings though. It was always based on what was more to their own advantage.
What do you think?
Two of the weapons available for the Spore are Large Blast Markers. (Barbed Strangler and Cluster Spines.The Mycetic Spore automaically shoots the cosest enemy unit in each shooting phase unless it is engaged in close combat.
On page 30 of the BRB, under BLAST, it says:
So what happens if the closest unit to the Mycetic is so close that it is impossible to place the blast marker without hitting itself?You may not place the marker so that the base or hull of any of your models is even grazed by it.
