In the first edition of AoS when picking targets the rules stated you needed line of sight for both missile and melee weapons.
In AoS 2.0 line of sight is only mentioned when choosing missile targets. Is line of sight not needed for melee weapons?
If so one issue I have with this is when models are either side of terrain but in range. For example if my model is one side of an Ophidian archway and an enemy model is the other side but there is a distance of 1” (if measured from base to base through the terrain piece). Would it be legal to attack with a melee weapon with a 1” range despite there being no line of sight. Logically and thematically it doesn’t make sense to attack through walls but if an opponent tried this against me I wouldn’t be able to quote a rule preventing this.
