Do the DCCW and the built-in storm bolter/flamer count as one weapon or two? Does a weapon destroyed allocated to one take the other with it?

**Pedro Kantor**

They count as one weapon.When your opponent wants to remove the DCCW,the storm bolter/flamer will go with it.

**DiRT52**

weapons destroyed on dreads are basically arms destroyed it is under dread cc excert in the rule book

**Kommissar Kel**

WD on DCCW takes the Storm bolter/Heavy flamer with it

WD on the storm bolter/Hevay flamer does not take the DCCW with it, however.

The built-in gun is still a weapon, and the rules only state that the DCCW takes any inbuilt weapons with it, not that inbuilt weapons take the DCCW with them.

You can choose to just take the Stormbolter... This comes up when you scatter your vindicator round onto your own dreadnought and roll a weapon destroyed.

**Pedro Kantor**

Since it is the opponent who decides what weapon he destroys,its going to be the dccw.Never has an opponent of mine said " keep the S10 instant death weapon,just lose the storm bolter/flamer from underneath ".Thats not going to happen,ever,in any game you play as you remove the dreads arms for a WD result,as has been said.

**Bludbaff**

Yeah, not expecting opponents to preferentially target the storm bolter (though if it was immobilized and the other arm had been taken out it would make sense), just wondering if the bolter could continue to shoot after the hand was blown off. Thanks for the speedy responses!

Tiny bit off topic but I thought that weapons of str 4 or lower were considered defensive weapons and cannot be chosen as a choice for weapon destroyed.

**Ascalam**

They are defensive weapons, but i don't think that precludes you blowing them off the hull with a rocket launcher

No such rule exists. Well, the defensive rule does, but it has absolutely no effect on removing weapons due to Weapon destroyed.
