The other thing is that melta guns are AP1, which increases the damage roll by 1. This has a significant increase in the number of destructions of AV 12 targets, increasing it from a ~5.52% to destroy to a ~9.76%

To test this, compare a melta gun vs a krak missile at a wave serpent.

Remember that vehicles are overall annoyingly hard to kill in 40k. Don't be surprised if it takes a few turns to make them open up like a girl on a prom date. ( dangers of drinking and posting)

That being said 3 TL LC in a vendetta wil put a serious cramp in the elders style. At the least, you can keep them shaken
