Droideka + line of sight

[Tailgunner172]

Hi there,

I'd like some guidance on approaching the droideka unit's line of sight.

Assuming all minis are build as per AMG's guidance and with standard parts (very minor posing differences might happen), would they all be the considered the same height? 

If yes, would they then block line of sight to each other's unit? For example unit 1 is standing directly in front of unit 2, would it block los?

Secondly, since they don't have vehicle silhouettes, how would we measure if they're higher than a trooper silhouette or is there an accepted rule that they're higher/shorter than troopers?

thanks in advance, I appreciate what you do.

No. Vehicles do not have set silhouettes - they are determined using the hull of the mini. There may be variance among different assemblies of the same miniatures. Note that a Droideka mini's silhouette may also be modified during gameplay when/if using the Wheel Mode miniature.

Vehicle units may obscure or block LOS to other vehicle units. This is determined on a case-by-case basis using the silhouettes of the involved vehicles.

As above, vehicles do not have set silhouettes. Whether or not a vehicles blocks LOS to a trooper's silhouette should be determined on a case-by-case basis using the involved minis.

Hope this helps,
