Armourbane (X) If a model or weapon has this special rule, it rolls an additional D6 for armour penetration when targeting a Vehicle model, or, when targeting a model with the Automata or Dreadnought Unit Type, re-rolls all failed rolls To Wound instead. These effects apply to both Shooting Attacks and close combat attacks.
Some instances of the Armourbane special rule may include a qualifier after the rule in brackets, for example Armourbane (Melta) or Armourbane (Melee). These variant rules are described below:
Armourbane (Melta): A model or weapon with this Armourbane special rule only gains the benefits of the Armourbane special rule when at half range or less. If the attack is more than half its Maximum Range away, it rolls to penetrate as normal. If a weapon with this version of Armourbane also has the Blast special rule (see page 234), measure the distance to the centre of the Blast marker after it has scattered. If this is half the weapon’s range or less, then all Hits are counted as having the Armourbane special rule, otherwise the Hits are resolved as if they did not have the Armourbane special rule.
Armourbane (Melee): A weapon or model with this version of the Armourbane special rule only gains the benefits of the Armourbane special rule when attacking in close combat.
Armourbane (Ranged): A weapon or model with this version of the Armourbane special rule only gains the benefits of the Armourbane special rule when making Shooting Attacks.
Twin-linked When attacking with a weapon that has this special rule, the controlling player may re-roll all failed To Hit rolls.
Twin-linked Blast Weapons
If the Scatter dice does not roll a Hit, you can choose to re-roll the dice when making a Shooting Attack with a Twin-linked Blast weapon. If you choose to do so, you must re-roll both the 2D6 and the Scatter dice.
Twin-linked Template Weapons
Twin-linked Template weapons are fired just like a single weapon, but must re-roll failed To Wound rolls and Armour Penetration rolls.
