Sir_Isenhar Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 We are going to play our first 6th Apocalypse and I was reviewing the new FAQ from forgeworld and I noticed something strange on the D weapons... Before they would get +1 on the damage chart and now it just says they get auto penetrate and not saying if there is any modifier.. Did forgeworld screw up on this one or did i miss something?? Because AP 2 And AP 1 weapons get +1 and +2 on the damage chart... I would assume D weapons get the same as AP1 weapons considering how strong they are... Whats your opinion guys??

Olis Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I'd have assumed the lack of modifier (I haven't seen any yet either) was to balance out the fact that D-weapons auto-penetrate. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261183-destroyer-weapon-rules/#findComment-3177469 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysere Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 I know before they used to count as AP1, not sure where it said that, but either way it may be for balance. Since a pen can shut down a lot of vehicles. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261183-destroyer-weapon-rules/#findComment-3177476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Isenhar Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 I tend to disagree because this means a weapon that cause instant death to infantry can only destroy a vehicle on a roll of 6 ? I would find this completely ridiculous! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261183-destroyer-weapon-rules/#findComment-3177492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would find this completely ridiculous! Don't forget all S D weapons have an AP value built in.

Sir_Isenhar Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 ok my bad :P I had never noticed that! if you check the shadowsword for instance it does indead say AP 2 even though no save are allowed.. Probably for the 6th edition rules This is from the GW site http://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_Custom...Shadowsword.pdf Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/261183-destroyer-weapon-rules/#findComment-3177518 Share on other sites More sharing options...
