hello all,
Just want to introduce myself as a long time admirerer, first time poster. Well I want to get off with my first post about the Deffrolla. Maybe this has been discussed before, but the question I have is about how the Deffrolla effects fearless troops. On page 55 of the Ork codex it says that ANY tank shock made by a Battlewagon with the Deffrolla causes D6 Str 10 hits on the victim unit. I know from reading the rulebook that in order to be tankshocked the unit in question must pass a morale test. And all fearless units pass all morale checks. But, seeing how the entry states that ANY tankshock even against a fearless unit would have the possibility of wounding said unit. I know that this interpretation is a long shot, I just want to see if this has any sort of viability to it. Secondly, if I ram a Landraider with the Deffrolla do I get to add the D6 Str 10 hits plus the additional points for ramming together or does the ramming only count as one D6 Str 10. Thanks for listening to newb.

Welcome aboard!

You've got a misconception buried in there. The act of moving your battlewagon through an enemy non-vehicle unit is a Tank Shock. One result of a Tank Shock is that a unit must take a Morale test. Another result, for Deffrolla-equipped BWs, is that the unit takes 1d6 S10 hits. Neither result is predicated on the other.

Ramming with a Deffrolla causes 1d6 S10 hits, plus one additional hit at the appropriate strength for ramming.

1. Fearless units are allowed to move, but are still Deff Rolla'd.

2. D6 str10 + whatever hit the ram causes.

edit:
me = too slow.

The above 2 people are indeed correct!

The first two responses were correct, and I concur with the assessment of the third responder.

Well just to keep the guy on the up and up, I concur with not only the first post, not only the second and third post, but ALL FOUR!

Question answered. Moving right along...
