Crazy Jay Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Greetings, Really new player here. Say I'm fielding a land raider that has 14 armor all around. Does this mean I don't have to fear any weapon with a strength score of 7 or less? Is there anyway troops with strength 7 or less could hurt me?

Rending, Armourbane, Lance, Melta, and Smash all give models/weapons with a Strength of less than 8 to the ability to harm models with AV of 14.

Fibonacci Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Lance wepons, Armorbane, anything that auto-glances like haywire grenades and gauss weapons. I have a squad of S3 girls that eat Landraiders if they ever get close to one; they are all 2 attacks with Rage (+2 charge bonus) with Eviscerators (2X Strength and 2 dice for armor penitration) so plenty of opportunities to get the ever so popular Expoldes result Most armies have ways of dealing with heavy armor. Some rely on high strength, other do not. [Edit] And then there are the things that will errode armor which will reduce the AV of your vehicles and thus allow weaker attacks to penitrate.

Azatoth Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Assuming no further special rules are involved you are correct. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278414-weapon-strength-and-vehicle-armor/#findComment-3421998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
