so for random AP weaponry like DE liquifier, Meduse, casket of fleshinging do you roll once for the AP or for all hits separetly?

liquifier template Str 4 AP d6
sometimes it says you roll each time you fire it but does that mean once for all hits?
what about if the Str is variable as well?

how does this compare with Flashgits "snazguns?"?

From what I can tell in the codex books, each one explains how it is used.

When it says you roll for each time you fire it, that means you roll each time you fire it. So if you used a Liquifier, you roll once for that weapon firing; not the individual hits on your enemy.

And you roll after you have chosen what target to fire at.

Does it say to roll for each time you hit? Or for each time you fire?

=_=

Snazzguns are 'roll once each shooting phase, after target is selected'

Liquifiers roll each time they are fired (and as template weapons the ap applies to all hits from that shot)

What guns have random Str and Random Ap at the same time? I'm curious

Generally they seem to be a roll once for the gun (or unit thereof for flash gitz) per shooting phase, after picking a target, and then anyone hit takes the AP whatever hits.

I think SoB have one weapon that's random on both. One of their templates maybe.

And to add a bit to Ascalam's post for the Snazzguns, it says to roll once for the unit. Not each weapon in that unit.

Casket of flensing is S D6, AP D6, Assault 2D6. BTW, in case the OP was wondering, for that one you pick your target, check range, roll a D6 for Str, then a D6 for AP, then 2D6 for how many shots, and then roll all the shots, then roll any hits to see if they wound.

casket of fleshening is S d6 AP d6 Assault 2d6

the Meduse(sic) or whatever they are called in the court of the archon are Template Str d6+1 AP d6.

So what I understand all of these you roll once be shooting phase and apply it to all hits.

Next question. If I have 3 Liquifiers or Meduse I roll for each separately or all at once?

It should be roll for each separately, since both say "roll each time it's fired."
