<td> <b><strong class="selflink">Ground Pounder</strong></b> (★ Attack) - Place a 4" AOE anywhere completely within this weapon's RNG that is in this model's LOS. This model makes one ranged attack roll against each model in the AOE, ignoring <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Concealment" title="Concealment">concealment</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Stealth" title="Stealth">Stealth</a>. This model does not gain a bonus for aiming when resolving a Ground pounder attack. Models do not gain the target in melee DEF bonus when resolving Ground Pounder attack rolls. Models hit suffer a ranged attack damage roll equal with a POW equal to the POW of this weapon. Ground Pounder attacks are simultaneous.

<ul><li> Short version:
<ul><li> You need to have at least one tiny piece of the template in your LOS. </li>
<li> Models of <i>all sizes</i> block your LOS when you're trying to place the template.</li>
<li> But once the model is covered by the template, you get to attack it whether or not you have regular LOS to it.</li></ul></li></ul>
<p><u>Placing the template</u>
</p>
<ul><li> If you have a method of drawing LOS to the models that you're about to Ground Pound (such as them being a huge-base model, or you casting <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Mage_Sight" title="Mage Sight">Mage Sight</a> on them), that <i>doesn't help at all</i> with placing the template. You're essentially trying to get LOS to a point "on the table", not to a model. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?252854-Brisbane-vs-Wurmwood&p=3687804&viewfull=1#post3687804" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> You need to be able to draw LOS to at least one point of the AOE. It doesn't need to be the centrepoint. This allows you to "shoot around the corners" of LOS-blocking terrain. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?252854-Brisbane-vs-Wurmwood&p=3687804&viewfull=1#post3687804" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Models of all base sizes block LOS to the template. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?278969-Line-of-Sight-through-MODELS-for-placing-Brisbane-1-s-Ground-Pounder-template&p=3877988&viewfull=1#post3877988" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li></ul>
<p><u>Making the attacks</u>
</p>
<ul><li> Ground Pounder does not target, so it can bypass stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Feign_Death" title="Feign Death">Feign Death</a>.</li>
<li> Ground Pounder ignores concealment, but not cover.</li>
<li> If you use Ground Pounder to "shoot around a corner" as described above, all models in the template will get attacked even if the terrain <i>completely</i> blocked LOS to them. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?277954-Ground-pounder-and-LOS&p=3870668&viewfull=1#post3870668" rel="nofollow">Locked thread</a></b>)</li>
<li> Unlike normal AOE attacks, <i>all</i> hits are <i>direct</i> hits, so your opponent can use stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Sacrificial_Pawn" title="Sacrificial Pawn">Sacrificial Pawn</a> on any of them.</li>
<li> Although it uses the AOE template it's not actually an AOE attack, so the attacking model is considered the point of origin of the attack (for the purposes of stuff like <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Shield_Wall" title="Shield Wall">Shield Wall</a>). </li></ul>
<p><u>Other</u>
</p>
<ul><li> Things which increase/decrease RNG (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Fire_Group" title="Fire Group">Fire Group</a> or <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Windstorm" title="Windstorm">Windstorm</a>) <i>will</i> apply to Ground Pounder attacks. (<b><a class="external text" href="https://privateerpressforums.com/showthread.php?277952-Ground-Pounder-and-Windstorm&p=3870671&viewfull=1#post3870671" rel="nofollow">Infernal Ruling</a></b>)</li>
<li> Similarly, things that buff ranged attacks (such as <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Fire_for_Effect" title="Fire for Effect">Fire for Effect</a>) <u>will</u> apply to Ground Pounder attacks.</li></ul>
