Emperor's Furor Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 So I'm wondering, Veterans can choose from various special abilities, one of them is Sniper. The sniper rule states that if they roll a 6 they get precision shots which means they can pick out targets, it also means they also always wound on 4+ minimum. However what I'm wondering about is the next bit, it says sniper Weapons gets pinning and rending, does that mean then that the veterans don't benefit from this as their weapons are not sniping weapons?

blackoption Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 As I understand it... if anything (be it wargear OR model) has the Sniper special rule, they get all the benefits. Thus the sniping Veterans would get pinning and rending. But I will defer to the more experienced rule sages then myself.

Dono1979 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 No, if the firer has Sniper and the weapon doesnt, there is no Pinning or Rending. The Weapon needs the Sniper rule to give the additional rules.

Emperor's Furor Posted September 12, 2013 Author Share Posted September 12, 2013 Yeah found it: Q: Can you tell me how the Sniper rule applies to the Legion Veteran Tactical squad (if it is chosen as an option) and the Vigilator? A: All of the shooting attacks made by these units gain the ability to inflict Precision Shots (see page 63 of the Warhammer 40,000 rulebook) if they did not already do so. In addition, all of the model’s shooting attacks never need greater than a 4+ to wound their targets, regardless of their weapon’s relative Strength and their target’s Toughness. Note that if they would normally need less than 4+ to wound thanks to their weapon’s Strength, the better To Wound roll is still used. (So a Melta gun fired at a Space Marine by a Tactical Veteran with the Sniper special rule still only needs a 2+ to wound regardless for example). Other special rules for the weapon they are using remain unchanged.
