Thundertusk Ice Breath

[Turragor]

Is the thundertusk ice breath dice roll a 'to hit' roll?

It is a missile weapon but the stats are scored out - meaning 'refer to the warscroll text below'.

It says 'roll a dice and on a 2 or more that unit is struck' - struck awfully like hit in this case.

I don't think it is ever played as a hit roll but looking at it, there's at least a small case to say it could be read that way.

I'd be tempted to go with no - otherwise they could have given it an R18/A1/TH2+/D* profile.
Also means it can't get more than one A, on strict reading.
Definite grounds for FAQ though.

It's well established that it's not a to hit roll. Same as a Warp Lightning Cannon.

This is a pretty good example of something being changed and maybe interacting with a new or preexisting rule and causing havoc. Bonus attacks on Thundertusk breaths as if they were normal missile weapons). haha.

I am pretty satisfied that it is not intended to be a regular hit roll (like some of the dracoth breaths /LCOD for example).

The wording just struck me as I glanced at the warscroll.
