During some deep thinking time on the can, it occured to me I didn't know what happens when a model has multiple penetration dice and rending.

Take for instance the Vindicare with his Turbo Penetrator shot. Vehicle Penetration of 3d6, and since it is fired from a sniper rifle, it has rending.

Now, I am presuming that any 6 rolled on the original 3d6 adds an additional d3. So, theoretically, one could have a penetration of 27 (3 6's and 3 3's.)

Is there a rule somewhere that limits the number of rend bonuses to one per hit or something?

In those cases each 6 rolled is a rend. I believe this was FAQ for some MC. So yes a pen roll of 27 is possible.

edit: Checked the FAQ :BRB there it washttp://www.games-workshop.com/MEDIA_CustomProductCatalog/m2030054_40k_Rulebook_Oct_2008.pdf

Wow! That means a 'fex with rending claws or even a tyrant with rending could really trash a LR or Monolith. A feat that is truly hard to do.

AFTER THOUGHT: Does the Monolith's "living metal" special rule negate the extra D3 like it does the extra D6 for monstrous creatures?

Living metal negates.

And Fexes could already trash Raiders pretty well. Rending is just [more] overkill.
