PhillyT Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hello, THe Banner lists bolters as Salvo 2/4. Does this mean they fire 24" 2 times if they move and shoot and 4 times at 24"? Reading it it almost sounds like it is 2 times at 12" if you move, which would be awful. Thank you.

elphilo Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 That is correct, if you move 2 shots at 12", 4 shots at 24" if you don't move. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276432-banner-of-devastation-question/#findComment-3387206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillyT Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Ouch. Makes it a difficult banner to take in some cases then. I guess if you move and then run forward, it would be able to get within 24" of the enemy deployment zone against sitting armies. Against armies that march on you it rules.

Cactus Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Jump packs don't make you Relentless. ...and are rarely available with boltguns. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276432-banner-of-devastation-question/#findComment-3387449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onisuzume Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Ouch. Makes it a difficult banner to take in some cases then.Or you just need more marines. And given that 76 marines at 1.5k points isn't impossible, the more marines part should be quite possible. Well, unless you already got those 76 marines, of course. ...and are rarely available with boltguns.Ugh, don't remind me. Although it was a small chance we'd get them anyhow. I'm also bothered by how we can't get autocannons on our devastators anymore (we could in 2nd).

Adper Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 This actually brings a question to mind. The rules says you tread you boltguns as Salvo 2/4 weapons. Does that mean they are no longer considered rapid fire and could potential assault after shooting?

Interrogator Stobz Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Sorry dude; p52 BGB reads that models that fire Salvo weapons cannot then charge. OFC that is changed by bikes Relentless rules. s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/276432-banner-of-devastation-question/#findComment-3389303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger9gamer Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 New question on banner protection. Is the banner safe on the five deathwing knights? I'm kinda scared that will drop dead at a moment's notice.

jeremy1391 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 The SOD on a deathwing comman squad with an apothecary has a lot more staying power than a normal command squad don't forget the apothecary upgrade!!
