I just played my 2 game of WH40k, and managed to pull out a win. However, a very interesting thing came up concerning the deffrolla.

I declared my deff roll, and it hit a unit of infantry and a chimera. I squished the infantry with 6 S10 attacks and was about to roll my number of attacks for my deffrolla hitting the chimera, but he told me that it only applied to infantry units. Luckily I still had enough ramming speed to blow the thing up, but still.

In the codex entry, it say any unit that is hit with it during a tank shock takes d6 strength 10 hits. Is there a legitimate ruling on the gw site or something that I could show this man, saying that deff rollas effect all types of units (Vehicles are a type of unit) or am I the one whose wrong?

It very specifically says that Ramming is a type of Tank Shock and does affect vehicles.

From the latest Ork FAQ from GW:

Q. Can you use the Deffrolla when Ramming
vehicles or does it only work when Tank
Shocking non-vehicle units?
A. The death rolla does indeed inflict D6 S10 hits
against vehicles, as Ramming is just a type of
Tank Shock.

Thank you guys so much. It was rather frustrating not to be able to cite an faq when I knew it was the case.

Don't cite it, show it. Print it out and carry it with you, cause I'm not going to take your word for it.................

Wow I asked the same question a month ago and got flamed.
