masterchief4312 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I was wondering what the deal with orbital bombardment is. Ive read about it a few times but still don't really know way it is. Can anyone explain?

CainTheHunter Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Codex rules-wise Space wolves have no access to it. Practically I believe they could, since they have quite impressing fleet.

Sharpsilver Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I was wondering what the deal with orbital bombardment is. Ive read about it a few times but still don't really know way it is. Can anyone explain? Orbital bombardment is the simplest means of carrying out an Exterminatus, as it can be done solely through the conventional firepower of the Imperial Navy. The power of an orbital strike can range from small precision strikes, not unlike that of modern surface to surface missiles, to thermonuclear blasts. Typically, special weapons are used, designed to destroy all life on a planet's surface and potentially any entrenched even in the planet's crust. - 40k wiki Hope that helps!

Thunderhawk3015 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Its a S 10 pie plate with unlimited range... thats not bad. Until it scatters and hits your own tooled up unit. :) Had an opponent do that to his assault termis/land raider, he hasn't used that ability since.

Grey Mage Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Nice. I had an opponent do something similar once- his chapter master was footslogging though, to counter assault for some devastators- he died horribly. We still give him crap about "on my coordinates!".
