Hi dakka.

Simple question today:

Lets say a dread with a DCCW/storm bolter takes a weapon destroyed result what happens?

I mean, If I decide it looses the DCCW, does it loose it's storm bolter as well, and vice versa?

Yes you lose them both.

thats -a word that the mods have edited out as being an inappropriate, due to using a word commonly used to describe a person's sexuality in a fashion that has nothing to do with sexuality and is intended instead to denote a negative impression of the subject at hand-.

thanks.

also you don't decide your opponent does.

And, Orkcommander is half right: if the opponent(poorly) chooses the Storm Bolter the DCCW is fine, but if (s)he (wisely) chooses the DCCW the storm bolter goes with it.

I'm pretty sure your dread still gets two attacks if you lose the DCCW though, unless it's an ironclad, who gets three attacks because he has two DCCW class weapons, and will indeed lose one attack. Your vanilla dread's attacks will also be at base STR, not 10 if he loses the DCCW.

Yes it does, it gets the attacks on its profile unless stunned, shaken, or destroyed.

unless?

I mean, it's stats wont change?

if it becomes a stunned vehicle, it still gets it's two attacks, doesn't it?

Read the walker rules more closely.
P73: "Immobilised and/or stunned walkers fight in close combat with one less attack..."

It also says "Shaken damage results do not affect the way a walker fights in close combat." so I'm unsure of Fabius's statement.

Simple really, If its shaken it gets its 2 attacks if its stunned or immobilised it loses 1 attack.

this has got me thinking.

If you get the can't shoot result, you can still assault.
If you can't move or shoot, surely you can still assault? (Probably not )

If you cannot move, then you cannot Assault as ASsault is still a move.

First of all I love your Avatar it is awesome.

@ Captain Solon if you can't move you can't assault.

What if the storm bolter is not attached to the DCCW, aka a FW dread, most of them are underslung on the chassis.

Irrelevant, as the codex entry specifies that the weapon is built in.

Just to ask a clarifying question...

Still means Weapon Destroyed DCCW = 2 AT @ S6?
You can only ever go down 1 attach due to 'Immobilised and/or stunned' results? And you can never go down below 1 w/o being destroyed or exploded?

You only go down 1 attack due to:
1) stunned / immobilised
2) you had more than 1DCCW and 1 gets destroyed. the bonus attack from that extra DCCW is lost.

The minimum number of attacks you can have while still alive is 1, and if you lose al your DCCW you are stuck at S6
