Thranquil Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hi, As I was re-reading my Codex: WitchHunters today I noticed something. The entry for the Inferno Pistol states that its a "S:8 AP:2 Pistol" that adds an extra d6 when at 3". Nowhere does it say it follows the melta rule. Doesn't have it as part of the profile, or wargear description. My question - did this get changed in the FAQ? If not then surely this makes it advantagous against StormRavens, tyranid drop spores and Avatars which all (I think) ignore the 'melta' rule. So you will always get your extra d6 as RAW. Of course getting close enough would be an issue!

Hellbreaker Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 The Eldar Avatar is still immune to Inferno pistols though. As per the WH FaQ. Cheers!

Thranquil Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Ah well - thought it would have been FAQed. Thanks Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/199887-quick-question-about-inferno-pistols-cwh/#findComment-2380808 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chengar Qordath Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Hellbreaker has it right. If you'll check the WH armoury, not even the meltaguns and multi-meltas have the melta rule, because there was no official melta rule when the WH Codex was written. Consequently, the FAQ indicates that weapons which function as melta weapons should count as having the melta rule.

Thranquil Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 (wanders off to check the codex again)... Oops. How did I miss that?! Thanks for the replies. I still want to give my Inquisitor an inferno pistol - it just won't be as good as first thought!
