minionboy Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Okay, so I was wondering what your take is on Vulkan and Combi-Weapons. Pretty simple question, does the flamer/melta portion of a combi-weapon get the twin-linked rule as per Vulkan's Chapter Tactics.

JamesI Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 They should be twin-linked. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154068-vulkan-and-combi-weapons/#findComment-1796337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran Scalphunter Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 As a combi-flamer/melta incorporates a flamer/melta into it, the flamer/melta will be twin-linked for its one shot. The normal bolter itself, no. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154068-vulkan-and-combi-weapons/#findComment-1796418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souchan Posted December 4, 2008 Share Posted December 4, 2008 I wouldn't see why not. Ofcourse, it would only count when using the single shot of the weapon, never for the bolter part(I could totally see someone try to argue that). This is something that is just so plainly understood, I don't think anyone would have an actual issue with it.

Doctor Thunder Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 If anyone says they do not become twin-linked, just have them read the armory entry for combi-weapons. It says: Combi weapons are bolters that have been specially modified to house another weapon. The extra weapon carries only a limited charge, allowing the bearer a single shot. A Space Marine armed with a combi weapon can choose to either fire the bolter or the secondary weapon. As you can see, a combi-flamer is two weapons, a bolter and a flamer. It does not count as a flamer, it is a flamer. The only difference is that the flamer only gets one shot.

SeattleDV8 Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Agreed Dr T, it is very clear. Both the combi flamer and Melta would be twin linked Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/154068-vulkan-and-combi-weapons/#findComment-1802579 Share on other sites More sharing options...
