The emperors chosen Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 I have a question on combi-weapons, in the rules in the SM codex, it says you can fire the secondary weapon "oncer per battle". Does this mean once per game, or once per player turn? thanks in advance ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175300-combi-weapon-confusion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Once per game is how I interpretted (sp?) it. Which is a slight downer - why take a combi weapon when the combi bit can only ever fire once in a game? ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175300-combi-weapon-confusion/#findComment-2071834 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its definetly once per game. The combi-weapon is just a bolter with an addon for one shot.

Which is a slight downer - why take a combi weapon when the combi bit can only ever fire once in a game? ;) Frankly, most Combi-Weapons are only really needed once per game. I can't think of many battles where I really missed a second shot.

Which is a slight downer - why take a combi weapon when the combi bit can only ever fire once in a game? ^_^ Because I can't give my black templar marshal a flamer or a melta gun. Situationally, having that one-shot melta or flame template comes in handy. I don't often use the combi-weapons, though.

OwlandMoonGuy Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 The upgrade is fairly cheap & can be massed up on Chaos Terminators & Sternguard. Having a unit that can either deep strike or be delivered via Rhino and unload concentrated, melta, flamer and/or plasma fire can do devastating damage with very little to counter the attack. As stated, you get one shot per game but that one shot can be used very decisively. -OMG Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175300-combi-weapon-confusion/#findComment-2071944 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tanthius Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 And also you're not going to have large reserves of promethium for an underslung flamer...

brakkar Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Each game you play is considered a "Battle" so therefore only once per game. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/175300-combi-weapon-confusion/#findComment-2072009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
