Balthamal Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Can't remember where I saw it mentioned on the boards but is it true that 30k melta bombs have armourbane rather than the melta special rule? Can't find anything in the four volumes or the LACAL to back this up Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302342-melta-bombs-in-30k/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Its in the 7th Ed BRB page 181 Melta Bombs : Range - S8 Ap 1 Armorbane, Unwieldy No mention of the Melta Special Rule anywhere in the profile.

grand_master85 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's in the 40k rulebook :) can't remember the page, but they do indeed have Armourbane Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302342-melta-bombs-in-30k/#findComment-3927135 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy1391 Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Sooo armored ceramite doesn't work against melta bombs :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302342-melta-bombs-in-30k/#findComment-3927717 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yes, which is why we always recommend taking them over any other form of melta weapon. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302342-melta-bombs-in-30k/#findComment-3927743 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicant Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I wonder if this will be FAQd at any point to resist the armourbane or melta bombs specifically. Seems like it would be the intent. Until then, melta bombs for everyone. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302342-melta-bombs-in-30k/#findComment-3927748 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slips Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 If they did that, well all it would do is make Spartans and Land Raiders even HARDER to kill but, free up a bunch of points especially in for squad-wide purchases like Tac Vets and Jetbikes; among others.

Kossaka Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 So does that make the Iron Warriors ability of Wrecker applied to any grenade and Melta Bomb attack bonuses even more attractive? or did they just get another wasted/useless legion special rule. I have visions of a 5 man Veteran Tactical squad wiping out a spartan on the charge.

Slips Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I'd assume that, yes, the wrecker rule would apply to the melta bomb if used in the correct circumstance which is blowing up a building, right?

Hesh Kadesh Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 While meltabombs benefit from Wrecker, buildings are unable to take Armoured Ceramite, so there's no real especial benefit that having Armourbane rather than Melta (although half-range melee would be a PITA to work out) grants to Iron Warriors.

Kossaka Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yeah, I got my wires crossed with Sunder and Wrecker, by bad. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/302342-melta-bombs-in-30k/#findComment-3927797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
