Disruption vs Haywire

[Nykidemus]

So there's a line in the Haywire rule about not being able to take saves against it, but I'm not seeing a similar rule in Disruption.

That seems to indicate the Disruption is just the auto-wound against dreads and bots, and you still resolve those wounds at the weapons normal AP value.

I've heard the Vulturax weapon (AP5 with Disruption) is supposed to be pretty good at harassing vehicles, but it feels like it's going to basically nothing to dreadnoughts since it cant get through their armor, yeah?

Yea disruption doesn't pass through saves. It crushes vehicles, but vehicles aren't the biggest deal currently. 

 

If you really want to mangle dreads with mechanicum you go with secutors and their grab guns.

Yeah, I just really want my vulturax to be decent. I adore the model, and I never got to play with it in heresy1.

But that's just a matter of adding it to your army list, right? Or is your group extremely competitive?

They can still eat a spartan, which is still a pretty annoying (and extremely common) vehicle to deal with. 

 

It could definitely be worse; despite their strength in 1st they can still do stuff. Can't say the same for a lot of the other mechanicum units.
