Is Wazdakka's "DakkaKannon" also twin-linked??

It doesn't really say that his Dakkakannons are twin-linked, but in his wargear section for the "Bike of the Aporkalypse" it states that it follows the rules for Warbikes as described on page 46.

Warbike rule in wargear section on page 46 states it addes +1 to toughness, exhaust special rule and twin-linked Dakkaguns.

So... is the Dakkakannon twin-linked?

I guess I'm struggling with the "follows the rules for Warbikes as described on page 46" part....

Thanks

Waz's bike follows the rules for regular Warbikes (so has twin-linked Dakkaguns) and additionally has the DakkaKannon, which isn't twin-linked as the rules don't say it is.

Wait a minute

Are you saying he has BOTH the dakkaguns (per warbike rule) and the DakkaKannon?

If so... does he fire with both at same time?

I believe that bikes may fire one weapon per rider on the bike. (Only bike i think this is relevant to is the space marine attack bike). So only one weapon for wazdakka.

This is referenced on pg 53 of BRB.

BTW, I am pretty sure that modeling extra grots on the bikes will get you some TFG stares so don't even try.

Wazdakka has both guns, and the kannons are not twin-linked. If you look at his picture, the kannons are modeled right between the handlebars, the ass end is where you put on the dakkagunz. He isnt a very useful HQ choice Im afraid.

The picture in the codex actually has the Dakkakannon (there's only one of them) and the dakkaguns all up front, with the dakkaguns either side of the kannon.

In any case, he can only fire one per turn. The advantage is he gets to choose what one to fire (e.g. Dakkacannon is pointless against Squishy Guardsmen).

Thanks guys... really... only reason to take Waz is so that the warbikers becomes troops.

THANKS!

Well, apart from Heavy weapon squads gwar

Yeah, but no-one takes them, so it's a moot (UK meaning!!!) point.

All I am saying is the the TLness of the bikes guns are better than the Dakkacannon when they both wound on the same number.
