Gunfighter for newbies

  • Gunfighter allows you to make ranged attacks even while in melee, but with several limitations - the most obvious one being you can only target other models in the same melee.
  • It gets complicated if the Gunfighter charges, if they're part of a unit, and/or they have multiple ranged attacks.
  • Refer to the basic training article LPG - Shooting in melee and/or the Rules Clarifications section below.

Official Rules

File:Gunfighter symbol.jpg Gunfighter Template:Blue
A model with the Gunfighter advantage can make ranged attacks targeting models in its melee range and/or can target models engaging it. A model with the Gunfighter advantage can also make free strikes with ranged weapons. If it does not have a melee weapon, it gains a melee range of 0.5˝.

A model with the Gunfighter advantage can make charges. If it makes a charge, the model can make its initial attacks with its ranged weapons, but these attacks can target only models in its melee range. The charging gunfighter’s first melee or ranged attack after ending its charge movement must target the model it charged. If the charging gunfighter did not fail its charge and cannot make its first melee or ranged attack against the charge target, the charging gunfighter can make its first attack against any eligible target. Remember, your first attack after charging is a charge attack only if you make it with a melee weapon, and a model in melee cannot aim.

Gunfighter does not allow a model to make melee and ranged attacks during the same activation.


2019.12 Errata: The first two sentences were rewritten, in order to clarify the interaction between "in melee range" and "in melee with".
Net result: Gunfighters can now shoot models that are not technically "in melee" (such as knocked down models) but which are in "melee range".
