Can someone please clarify how Rending works against vehicles. I know you add D3 to the strength of the weapon if you rend it but I just need some clarification.

This is what I assume happens: An Assault Cannon (S6) fires at a Predator (AV13). If I rolled a 6 to penetrate, nothing would happen, but because of the Rending, do I then add D3 to the overall penetration result, or is the first roll simply to see wherever I rend, then I roll for penetration? Sorry if it sounds hard to understand, it was the easiest way I could describe it.

Thanks,

You pretty much hit it on the head.

Assault Cannon (S6) vs Front Armour Predator (AV13)

You get S6 + D6 armour penetration. If you roll a 6, you get a further D3 pentration to that score, meaning you can get potentially 13,14 or 15 for your penetration score

S+D6+(if you score a 6)+D3 for rending.

Right, now I get it. Thanks chaps
