by | Oct 30, 2013

Here are two more rules from last game.



JJ typing,

Power of the Machine Spirit, 40k6 pg 40.

In a turn in which the vehicle neither moves Flat Out nor uses smoke launchers, the vehicle can fire one more weapon at its full Ballistic Skill than normally permitted.

Context: Opponents Land Raider Crusader moved 12" which normally weapons would snap fire.  He wanted to shoot Multi-melta.  Wasn't sure if it was snap fire or full BS.  He reminded me PotMS shoots at full BS if vehicle moves 12".


Power Fist, 40k6 pg 60

Type: Melee, Specialist Weapon, Unwieldy

Specialist Weapon, 40k6 pg 42

A model fighting with this weapon does not receive +1 Attack for fighting with two weapons unless both weapons have the Specialist Weapon rule.

Context: Opponent had a Templar with Power fist.was going to roll 3 dice to attack because it also had a bolt pistol.  Informed Power fist is a specialist weapon can don't gain extra dice because of extra close combat weapons.
