Are hits from the Conflagration of Doom from the Lore of Fire distributed as shooting? In addition, do you resolve the damage from each iteration of this spell separately? Or do you determine the cumulative number of hits suffered and then resolve all damage at the end?URL Copied!
URL Copied!
The answer has to be 'yes, distributed as shooting', otherwise we'd be opening Pandora's Box. Following the same spirit, we recommend to first calculate the entire number of hits and then roll to wound for the entire lot.

The Rule of Burning Iron from the Lore of Metal states 'the spell hits a single model (chosen by the caster, no targeting restrictions apply except the Wizard needs line of sight to the target)...'. Is a character riding in a chariot (or upon a monster) considered 'one model' for purposes of this spell, thus requiring a roll to randomly determine whether the chariot/monster or the character is hit by the spell? Or may the casting Wizard directly target any portion of the model that he wishes to?In addition, can the spell be cast into a close combat?URL Copied!

The spell hits the multiple-part model, and then the hit must be randomised amongst the different 'parts'. It can be targeted at a model engaged in combat.
