If a Ordnance Weapon has 2d6 Armour Penetration, do you roll 2D6 twice and pick the highest or do you roll 4D6 and pick the 2 highest?

Read the rulebook, its roll 2D6 and pick the highest. I have no idea where you got the 4D6 idea.

read his question. if an ordnance weapon has 2d6 armour penetration (i cant think of any that do) i would say roll 2 sets of separate dice. i honestly cant think of any ordance weapons that have 2d6 armour penetration, and if it came up in a game my gut instinct would be to just use the 2d6, rather than having to go through the labourious process of rolling lots of dice.

If we were to play each other in a tournament, not only would I table you, I would murder you, your family, every woman you ever loved and burn down your house. I mean, what's the point in winning if you allow people that don't take the game seriously to live?

Melta Torpedoes have 2D6 armor pen, but its rolled just like its melta cousins at half range. You roll 2D6 and add rather than take the highest.

What does the description for the Vanquisher's main cannon say? Is the 'melta' version still ordnance or does it somehow take another profile?

hang on, edit scratch that
warlord melta cannon rolls 3d6+S for any thing under the holes and 2d6+s if not weird as this dosn't look like ordance or melt but a combination
