I'm confused as to the rule regarding Defilers.

Under "walkers", the rulebook says that walkers can move and fire all weapons.

Under "vehicles", the rulebook says that vehicles firing ordnance weapons may fire no other weapons.


If a walker is equipped with an ordnance weapon, can it fire other weapons as well? IE: a Defiler with a Battle Cannon and Reaper Autocannon, can it fire both in the same turn?

No, a Walker moving 6" and firing an Ordnance weapon cannot fire other weapons, just as an ordinary stationary vehicle cannot fire other weapons.

But can a stationary walker fire other weapons, or the Ordnance rule overrides the Walker rule?

I just pointed out that you either fire one Ordnance weapon, or the number of weapons normally permitted for the type of vehicle. In the case of Walkers, whether they are stationary or moving at combat speed, they can fire all their weapons. In other words, if one of those weapons is Ordnance, then that's all the weapon it can fire.

A walker, regardless of how far it moves, fires as though it were any other vehicle that is stationary. So they can fire either all main and defensive weapons, or a single ordnance weapon.
