Hey guys, quick question.
In the grey knights codex, you can take the vehicle upgrade Hurricane Bolters. The description says" each hurricane bolter consists of three twin linked Bolters". Are these storm Bolters or heavy bolters?

Ok. Grey Knights are my first Marine army. All of my marines carry STORM Bolters. Am I to assume that when you say NORMAL Bolters, you are referring to STORM Bolters?

Hurricane bolters do the following...

If both sponsoons have LOS to target.

12 S4 AP5 shots at 12in or less
or
6 S4 AP5 shots at 12.1in or greater.

Half of the above if only one sponsoon has LOS to target.

Jayden, where does the info on one weapons destroyed result destroying with cone from? As far as im aware, sponsons are separate weapons and can conceivably fire at 2 targets with machine spirit.

Huh... well, I'll be damned. I just checked my SW codex and it does in fact say that list that it is two separate weapons. My bad. So it looks like a crusader has a minimum of 3 weapons. One main weapon and two defensive weapons.

In my defense they have gone through three different rules sets since they were first introduced in Codex Armageddon.
