Fabius Bile Vs Dreadnaught

[J!MM!L!C!OUS]

Hi There,

 

This should be a fairy easy question for you vets...

 

I'm fairly new to 40K, so is my mate, he plays CSM I play SM. Yesterday an interesting situation occurred and I would love some help on interpreting the rules.

 

So here's a situation and a question for you:

 

Basically, Fabius Bile shoots at the front armour of my dreadnaught with his little needly gun thingy without a strength value. What happens next?

 

A] Nothing happens on the grounds that the gun has no Str value to add to a D6, end of story.

B] *Something* else happens instead to compensate for Bile's super killyness, maybe something to do with his needly-thingy wounding on a 2+

 

Your thought's on this would be very much appreciated.

I can't check any FAQ, but as the codex stands, he rolls a D6 for armour penetration and that's it. It would be D6+Strength but his weapon has neither a strength value nor a sniper rule, so he can't damage any armour.

Valkyrion is correct; Fabius Bile's Xyclos Needler is incapable of harming vehicles. After battle he cries into his ubermensch serum because of it. ;)

Though I don't know the exact wording of the rule myself. If his rule does not having anything in it that says how it damages vehicles, then it simply rolls a D6 which cannot harm anything. So, no, he cannot hurt a vehicle.

Cheers Guys for clearing that one up :)
