Adra'Melek Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 A quick query on the Vigilator Centurions. They have the sniper special rules and the special ammo. Since they're a character they already have the precision shot rules. Since THEY have the sniper rule rather than their weapon their shots don't get 'rend', do they? So the only benefit they get from 'sniper' is the 'always 4+ to wound', including in combat. Here's a query, how does that work with Melta bombs? If used in combat with a tank or vehicle do they count as strength 3? It should include the special ammo as well, so regardless what ammo is used it's a 4+ to wound. But no rend. I was thinking of taking one with a veteran tactical squad with sniper but really struggling to see if it's worth it. Thoughts?

jeremy1391 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 As far as I am aware snipers do not wound on a 4+ in H2H combat only shooting, and the wording in the rule book gives them rend. So your melta bombs are unaffected and your bolters wound on 4 always and rend.

Adra'Melek Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 You're right about close combat. The sniper rule talks about shooting attacks. How the rend part says "sniper weapons". So is this weapons fired by snipers? Or weapons with the sniper rule?

jeremy1391 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 everything that the special rule sniper says applies. so rend, precision shot, wound on 4+. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264044-vigilator-query/#findComment-3217354 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I used one in a big game the other day, he achieved absolutely nothing with his bolter but was handy with his power weapon at least!

Corvinvs Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I used one in a big game the other day, he achieved absolutely nothing with his bolter but was handy with his power weapon at least! Your conclusion is that Vigilator is more funny and fluffy then realy useful choice, isn't it? Becouse the power weapon we can set to simple and cheaper Centurio. But what about "Sabotage" for Vigilator, was it useful? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264044-vigilator-query/#findComment-3219287 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noserenda Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Sabotage was kinda handy, picked off a couple of Marines from a Heavy Support squad prior to them getting hammered by every gun ever :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264044-vigilator-query/#findComment-3221527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
