Rules Commentary Page 5 - "Eligible to Shoot (when equipped with ranged weapons)"

40k Rules

Eligible to Shoot (when equipped with ranged weapons): Unless a rule specifically states otherwise, units that have shot are no longer eligible to shoot until the start of the next phase.

Looks like "daisy chaining" is dead.

As a loud and proud daisy chainer, I agree.

I don't mind it.

Yep! Good that they clarified eligible to shoot and RAW now actually reflects exclusively paired units.

As a very proud daisy chainer, this is an outcome I can accept.

Doesn't really matter anyway.

Fantastic to see. Happy to change over to not daisy chaining anymore.

Thank God.

Imo it has been fairly obvious that RAI, Shooting makes you ineligible to shoot. Now the rules actually confirm that

One of the problems was that they specifically defined what made you “ineligible to shoot” in the rules and it only mentioned Advancing and Falling Back. Glad it’s clear now.

Just a by-product of the game being very big, and having to cover absolutely tons of ground. They need to be quicker with this stuff though.

I’m glad they finally did this! I was worried they wouldn’t clarify

Didn't play once using daisy chaining so guess I didn't lose anything.

What is daisy chaining?

If a unit already shot even when guided, it could still be observer for another unit as shooting didnt made unit not eligible to shoot. So you could daisy chain units observing for the next one leaving only one unit without bonus in extreme case

Perfect clarification, that's what everyone wanted
