So I recall a tournament months ago when a Dark Eldar Ravager Toasted my Vypers.

The Disintegrators were a template weapon and I recall whincing when i read the rule that Opentopped vehicles were Vulnerable to blasts.

So, Recently at a local Tourney I was trying to Utilze my Fire Prism to Toast an Opentopped Ork Wagon and I couldn't locate the rules ... to my dismay.

I was wondering if anyone knew of the Rule i may be butchering.

Am I Whacked out? Is that an Old edition rule?

Thoughts?....PLease give me some Page #s and/or Enough of a quote to find the right RAW.

Disintegrators are NOT Template weapons.

They are Blast Weapons.

And no, Open Topped vehicles are NOT VtB/T.

Yup. 4th edition rule that disappeared from 5th.

farseerphil:

In the 4th edition Blast-type weapons had a bonus against Open-Topped vehicles. This edition all weapons have a +1 bonus when rolling for damage against Open-Topped vehicles.

That means Open-Topped vehicles can be destroyed on Glancing Hits. Open-Topped vehicles in squadrons are simply screwed.

Something to add is that the Venom Cannon and Heavy Venom Cannon have a -1 penalty when rolling for damage against all vehicles that aren't Open-topped. Against Open-Topped vehicles they roll for damage as normal, meaning at least D6+1 before other modifiers.

Thanks for the Quick answers.

I am crazzy.

Now that is settled.

Thanks

And Open Topped vehicles in Squadrons hit by AP1 = a Whopping 50% of results destroy it On a Glance
