penitent engine rampage rule

[corncob]

does this rule take effect before the +1 modifier for it being opened top is added. For example if my opponent roles a two on the vehicle damage chart does the penitent engine treat the role as a three or is it ignored before the modifier takes effect.

 

 

I hope I worded that clearly

[Toogeloo]

All modifiers are added prior to determining the final result. So if you score a glancing hit with a Melta gun against the Penitent Engine and then subsequently roll a 2 on the damage table, then you add the modifiers together -2 +1 +1 = 0 and then add the result to the dice roll, so a 2.

 

In your example, your opponent rolls a 2 meaning that the Penitent Engine loses one of it's flamers. The Rampage rule does not take effect.

[corncob]

so modifiers are added immediately meaning a 2 is instantly a 3 with the + 1 for being opened topped

[corncob]

another quick question? can penitent engines take smoke.

[Toogeloo]

No, Penitent Engines can take NO vehicular upgrades. There is no option to upgrade them if you look at their description.

[corncob]

are there any other vehicles like this, is their any where were it specifically says the penitent engine cant take upgrades

[Toogeloo]

If you look in the Witch Hunter Codex, in the Armoury, it will tell you that each vehicle's entry will explain what wargear options it can take. Now when you look at the Units you can choose, the first vehicles you come across are Transports (specifically Chimera, Rhino, and Land Raider), and at the top of the transports section it tells you what they can buy for upgrades as they all have the same upgrade capacity. The next vehicles you find are the Heavy Supports (specifically Immolators, Exorcists, and Penitent Engines). These vehicles have their own entries, under options, since each one differs in what it can take versus the others. Penitent Engines have no options.

Oh Emperor's purest eyes - I just had some very perverted ideas.
