6th ed Rules of the Game: Vindicare’s Turbo-penetrator and Sniper special rule requesting feedback

Here's a little rule I've heard about.  Apparently there are two camps for how to exercise Vindicare's Turbo-penetrator round.  Connor mentioned this during our last game and asked him for more of an explanation.  Would like your thoughts.




JJ typing, Sniper 40k6 pg 42

Against vehicles, Sniper weapons count as Strength 3

Exitus Rifle Grey Knights 5th ed pg 53

Type Heavy 1, Sniper

Turbo-penetrator Grey Knights 5th ed pg 53

A turbo-penetrator shot has an Armour Penetration of 4D6.


Here's the issue as it was explained it to me.  One camp believes that armour penetration is 4D6+3.  Other camp believes that armour penetration is 4D6 because that is the way its written in the codex.

What do you say.  Does the turbo-penetrator roll 4D6+3 or 4D6 for armour penetration?  Feel free to provide any references including books and page numbers.
