DN rules clarifcation

[PurpleVincent]

Ive been wondering about a particular rule invovling the Ironclad. In the C:SM it offers the chance to have 2 heavy flamers, one on each arm. Ive recently coverted an Ironclad, despite the rumours and pictures, and was wonderng if the heavy flamers count as twin-linked, or, as my friends and I believe due to the wording, does it count as 2 independantly firing HF? I know ths isnt a big thing, but I cannot receive help anywhere, and my local GW staff members are of diferent minds. PLEASE HELP!!!

2 Independent Heavy Flamers. One on each arm, so you get to lay down two templates a turn with him. ;)

I agree with Mr. Scalphunter - they are 2 separate weapons.

I agree with Mr. Scalphunter - they are 2 separate weapons.

 

I concur with this, they arn't tau battlesuits, no rule anywhere says being armed with two weapons of the same type makes it twin linked

[Firedrake28]

Yup, two separate weapons. The only time they'll count as a single, twin-linked gun is if the rules explicitly state that they do so.

 

On a side note, you'll likely be better off with a single heavy flamer and a meltagun, but I suppose that's beside the point. :lol:

Unless it specifies twin-linked, they aren't.

 

Tau battlesuits state two of the same become TL.

Tyranid weapon sybiotes ditto.

Eldar Wraithlord also.

 

Eldar Warwalker does not.

Ironclad does not.

[Grey Mage]

Eldar Wraithlord can have two flamers or shuriken catapults attached to their arms, and these do not become twin linked. Theres nothing I can find in the entry that implies the IC dread would be any different.

[Aidoneus]

Of course, if you include Vulcan, they'll BOTH be twin-linked! :) But yeah, on it's own, they're definitely 2 regular heavy flamers.
