I am sure that I am going to get some crap for this, but the other day I was looking through my 40k rulebook and saw something that said that Barrage Weapons roll to penetrate against a vehicles side armor value to simulate the shell hitting the top of the vehicle. In a game earlier today, I fired my manticore, and my opponent had not heard of this rule, and then i couldnt find it in the rulebook, so after searching for 10 minutes i gave up and just resolved it against the front . So if this is a real rule, what page is it on, or am i just crazy?
Thanks Everyone!

Page 60, template and blast weapons against vehicles, first bullet point, "The centre of the blast marker ends over the vehicle's hull," last sentence of the paragraph.

thanks! i dont know how i missed that, it would have been very helpful against his deff rolla's, but now i know. Thanks again!

Deff Rolla's are the front roller weapon, the tank is a Battle Wagon and the player was me. Sorry had never played it that way, makes sense that an ordinance barrage weapon would have to declare how it is shooting and assuming that you would not take the BS off the scatter. Cheers
