My friend and i were playing a game, here is some stuff that came up.

Does a dreadnought CCW reduce its initiative to 1?

When something explodes, do you measure from the center of the model exploding, or all around form the hull?

When your transport explodes and is replaced by difficult terrain, are your models stuck in difficult terrain if you roll say, a 1 for the radius, or would set them 1 inch around the hull, the place the difficult terrain?

1. No
2. From the edge of the hull
3. The difficult terrain is the size of the vehicle and the models are in it.

Oops, also, is that CCW double strength?

Strength 10/ no save.

No it's double strength, not strength 10. While there aren't any walkers off the top of my head that have one and aren't atleast S5 it's still worth pointing out the proper functionality.

Well its Double Strength up to a max of 10. Except for attacks, no Characteristic like that can be above 10.

If a dread's ccw is destroyed, then it's strength becomes 6 from the 10 that it orignally was. Or if you arm a dread with 2 ranged weapons, then the strength is 6. You double the strength 6 to max 10.

A Dreadnought close combat weapon is a broad term which applies to most walker melee weapons, for example killa kanz and deff dreads are only S5, so their strength doesn't "become 6" if their DCCW is destroyed.

Only if it's base strength was 6 to begin with.

Again, only if it's base strength was 6 to begin with.

My bad, I forgot that orc kans are only base 5.

Wait, so Killa Kanz and Deff Dreads are not double strength? thats useless.

No they still double. Thier base str might be different than a SM dread (not sure). Basically both the Kans and Dreads base str if 5, as long as the CCW is not destroyed then it doubles their str up to a max of 10.

Yes, they are double strength (strength 10). But if the ccw is destroyed they are only strength 5, not 6 like marine dreads.

Its a power fist that doesn't reduce its Initiative to 1.

I think that was the easiest way to say it

Or a power weapon that doubles its strength
