Overwatch?

[Jegind]

Can you chose what kinda ammo you wanna use when your getting charged?  im thinking about the shotgun and Fragcannon. When it says all modifiers are removed when your shooting overwatch, does that include the ammo choices?

yes, shoot your AP -2 or poison 2+ just fine. The modifiers they are taking about is like the +1 to hit Supersonic fliers which would make it 7+ to hit, which is impossible, or marker light that gives bonus 1 to hit.

Im new in this world. What weapon can shoot poison shell´s? and lets say my shotgun dudes are getting charged. I can then chose to use the wyrmsbreath shell, which always hits the target? and then i dont have to roll 6´s to hit?

Regular and stalker bolters can shoot the poison ammo.

 

The shotguns can shoot the d6 autohit wyrmbreath shell, but it only has a range of 7", so the enemy might be out of range.

 

Same goes for the frag cannon, with an 8" range on the 2d6 autohits. Amazingly brutal if they're inside 8", and a reason to put autohit units at the front to receive charges.
