A Volley Gun follows the rules for war machines in the Warhammer rulebook.

Firing the Volley Gun

The Volley Gun has a range of 24". Nominate your target and turn the Volley Gun to face it. Then fire the first barrel. The barrel will fire a variable number of shots equal to the roll of an artillery dice. Once you have fired the first barrel, shoot the second barrel at the same target and then the third. The final total is the number of shots fired by the Volley Gun.

If you roll a misfire result on any of the artillery dice, consult the Volley Gun misfire chart and apply the result immediately. Then roll the artillery dice for any remaining barrels (assuming you still can!). You must fire all three barrels when shooting the Volley Gun, even if the target is found to be out of range.

Measure the range to the target and roll to hit as normal for the shots that have been fired, applying all normal to-hit modifiers.
