Las Plas twin plasma gun rule

[SnakeChisler]

On the gets hot on the dual Plasma Cannon it says you take a Mortal wound on a 1 while on the Plasma on the Vengeance it has a different rule pretty draconian but specific to vehicles. They've also spun out the Dreadnought Plasma cannon to 1 Mortal Wound.

 

Anyway

 

The twin plasma gun says "The Bearer is Slain" which is odd as its on a Vehicle and there isn't a bearer as such, its a copy/paste from infantry plasma weapons.

 

So if you can't slay the bearer does then how do you treat the gets hot and should just cause a mortal wound when it overheats?

 

[Charlo]

It's a bad copy/ paste error.

 

RAW you would remove the vehicle... lol.

 

So I guess agree with your opponent beforehand if it should be 1 MW instead :)

[Solrac]

Yep agree it's a bad copy paste from a normal Plasma even though the Twin Plasma is only ever found on vehicles. I'm guessing it will get an FAQ soon.

 

On a related note I am annoyed at the inconsistencies with plasma get's hot. Should have just been take D3 mortal wounds on the roll of a 1 or something and we wouldn't need separate wording on different plasma weapons and normal troops would still get blown up in one shot.

Played my first 8th Edition game a few days back. 

 

Sammael got excited on his Corvex, overcharged, rolled ones and blew himself up second turn.... Dead.  He had full wounds and was my warlord.

The land raider command tank has the same issue, as do all the xhaos tanks with combi-plasmas.

@turbosnake. Just declare that you won slay the warlord
