I would wager that many Exitus rifles have existed longer then the entire Tau species. They were only club thumping savages a couple thousand years ago.

well they used to be 3d6 too and now upgraded to 4d6...I smell stolen tech!

I just smell rules changes that have nothing to do with the fluff.

Well, I don't know the current grey knights codex but this was a rules question in the previous one.. They said the turbo penetrator rolled 3D6 armor pen but it was unclear if this was a total number or if you still added another 1D6 like with any other weapon. It seems they've removed the confusion. Also Vindicares only got to use ONE turbo penetrator shot per battle.

that was the old codex, the new one you can fire the same round as many times as you want

and the old one was FAQd the exact same way as the current one.

It was a sniper rifle that rolls 3D6 for penetration. so 3+3D6+rending


The single shot was just stupid from a rules perspective with the current meta so that going away was fully expected.
