Xavier319 Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Okay, so the second part of their CT is that if the model does not move, it may fire any boltguns, bolt pistols, or bolter portions of combi-weapons as heavy 1, and they gain rending. Grav cents are SaP, which make htem 'always count as having not moved in the shooting phase', so that takes care of part one. hurricane bolters are not their own weapon, in the weapon description, it states that they "consist of three twin-linked boltguns fired as a single weapon'. It sounds like to me, RAW, that raptor grav cents can move, and fire 3 twin-linked heavy 1 rending boltgun shots each via CT. am i off-base here? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generalripphook Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 That sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluger Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 This is absolutely correct. Rending hurricane bolters make the grav cents even more off the chain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PourSpelur Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Wasn't there a ruling about boltgun Chapter Tactics buff that specifically didn't include hurricane bolters? Imperial Fists perhaps? Really don't remember but if it did then there's precedence that "bolt-whatever" rules don't apply to hurricane bolters. ;( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier319 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Well, the imperial fist one doesnt apply since hurricane bolters are already twin-linked. the imperial fist one lets you re-roll 1's to hit. do you know where this precedence came from? Not that I dont believe you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't remember but if it did then there's precedence that "bolt-whatever" rules don't apply to hurricane bolters. ;( Last edition there was a note that the IF tactic didn't work with Sternguard special ammo, that may be what you are thinking of. The only specific ruling I can think of for Hurricane Bolters was back in the 6E Dark Angels book where they were affected by the Standard of Devastation under most rulings (although a handful of tournaments ruled otherwise, mostly ones across the pond.)

PourSpelur Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 You're correct. I was thinking about the Sentinels of Terra re-roll for bolt weapons;) Carry on. Looks like a cool addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xavier319 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Alright, that's what I thought. Just making sure my interpretation of RAW was in fact correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
