When i have a weapon (Multi-melta for example), and it glances a vehicle, how do the damage modifiers work? would it just be -1, or does one override?

Another, when glancing an open topped vehicle, what goes on with that?

Thanks!

you take all the modifiers into account, so if you glance with an AP1 weapon, you subtract two, and add one to the roll.

So yes it is just a -1

Same for open topped take all modifiers into account.

And subsequently, if you penetrate an open-topped vehicle with an AP 1 weapon, you wreck it on a 3.

Yep. Pretty lame for those people who have open topped armies

All modifiers are applied as Deathreaper points out.

They shouldn't be getting hit in the first place!

Battlewagons have to get hit sooner or later!
