Visibility

When is a model visible?

A model is visible if it is not completely obscured by terrain, other models, or another obstruction created by a rule.

If the entire model is hidden, it is not visible to rules that require visibility.

Checking individual models

Check visibility from one model to another unless a rule says otherwise. A unit can contain both visible and hidden models.

When a rule requires a visible target, only models that are visible and otherwise legal may be selected or affected.

Visibility and Line of Sight

Visibility is used when checking Line of Sight. A visible model must still meet any other Line of Sight, range, targeting, or attack requirements that apply.

Example

An enemy unit contains three models behind a wall. Two models can be partly seen around the edge of the wall, but the third is completely hidden. The first two models are visible; the third is not. If an attack requires visible models, the hidden model cannot be selected or affected unless another rule allows it.

Frequently asked questions

Does a model have to be completely visible?

No. It is visible unless it is completely obscured.

Can some models in a unit be visible while others are hidden?

Yes. Visibility is normally checked model by model.

Can a completely hidden model be selected by a rule that requires visibility?

No, unless another rule specifically allows it.

Does being visible automatically make a model a legal target?

No. Range, Line of Sight, and any other targeting requirements must also be satisfied.
