Bolter/flamer combi-weapon

A combi-weapon has two profiles. When it is fired, pick one of the two profiles and use it for the attack. Due to the compact nature of the weapons, they often have less capacity for ammunition, and are prone to jams and other minor issues. When making an Ammo check for either of the weapons, roll twice and apply the worst result. However, unlike most weapons that have two profiles, ammo for the two parts of the combi-weapon are tracked separately – if one profile runs Out of Ammo, the other can still fire unless it has also run Out of Ammo.

When firing with a Rapid Fire weapon, a successful hit roll scores a number of hits equal to the number of bullet holes on the Firepower dice. In addition the controlling player can roll more than one Firepower dice, up to the number shown in brackets (for example, when firing a Rapid Fire (2) weapon, up to two firepower dice can be rolled). Make an Ammo check for each Ammo symbol that is rolled. If any of them fail, the gun runs Out of Ammo. If two or more of them fail, the gun has jammed and cannot be used for the rest of the battle.

If a Rapid Fire weapon scores more than one hit, the hits can be split between multiple targets. The first must be allocated to the initial target, but the remainder can be allocated to other fighters within 3’’ of the first who are also within range and line of sight. These must not be any harder to hit than the original target – if a target in the open is hit, an obscured target cannot have hits allocated to it. Allocate all of the hits before making any wound rolls.

After an attack with the Blaze trait has been resolved, roll a D6 if the target was hit but not taken Out of Action. On a 4, 5 or 6 they catch fire – place a Blaze marker on their fighter card. When a fighter with a Blaze marker is activated, roll a D6, adding 1 to the result for each other Active friendly fighter within 1’’ . On a 6 or more the flames go out, the Blaze marker is removed and they can act as normal. Otherwise they suffer immediate Strength 3, AP -1, Damage 1 hit; if they are standing, they move 2D6’’ in a random direction (determined using the Scatter dice, and stopping if they would move within 1’’ of an enemy), and their action ends. A fighter with a Blaze marker can never make any other actions, and cannot make attacks in any way (including Reaction attacks). Alternatively, when a fighter is activated, they can make a Double action and become Pinned to add 4 to the result of the roll to see whether the flames go out.

Template weapons use the Flame template to determine how many targets they hit.
