Dusktiger Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 ok, so what my question is, since vulkan twin-links everything flamer, melta, and thunder hammer, does that mean Meltabombs become twin-linked? do i reroll to hit with them? to wound? wha?? just asking so i know if i can take advantage of that for a tourny on the 14th Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/170505-vulkan-and-melta-weaponry/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cedric Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Melta bombs doesn't have the "melta" special rule, and isn't listed in Vulcan's entry, so that would be a no. Just as Flamestorm cannons on the LRR doesn't become twinlinked, despite being a template flame weapon.

Legatus Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 since vulkan twin-links everything flamer, melta, and thunder hammer Vulkans rules specifically mention meltaguns and multimeltas, not "melta" weapons in general. So even if meltabombs were melta type weapons, they would not be affected.

Uncle Mel Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 And what about combi-melta's? I thought it was generally considered to be twin linked as well?

Cedric Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Combi meltas and combi flamers are one shot meltaguns and one shot flamers according to the Armoury section, so they benefit from being twinlinked. They mnay be single shot weapons, but still weapons of respective type. At least that is my interpretation.

nighthawks Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 I will second that, Cedric. weapons that are related to those listed in vulkan's rules are not affected by the rules, so flamestorm, melta bombs, etc... are not covered. combi weapons ARE one shot variants of their namesakes and use all of the same rules for that one shot.
