Hi I'm relatively new to the game and just picked up the Grey night codex, theres one thing that I don't understand which is the Exitus Rifle.

How do you now what Strength X is? For example if I shot with a Turbo-Penetrator round what would I need to roll to wound. I cant seem to find a rule for strength X.

Thanks in advance

It's a sniper rifle, so it doesn't have a normal S value. The X means that it's a poisoned weapon that always wounds on a 4+ (unless you use hellfire rounds. I think that's what's its called anyway).
So for the TP rounds, you wound on a 4+ and since the Rifle is AP1 they don't get a save, resulting in an instant 2 wounds. Note that the target will still get a cover or Invulnerable save if he gets one.

X means the weapon has its own rules for rolling to wound. It doesn't always mean its poisoned. Similer, but not the same thing.

Sniper Rifles always wound on a 4+ regardless of Toughness according to the main rule book. So the Turbo-penetrator and Shield Breaker rounds will need a 4+ to cause a wound on something with a T value. the Hellfire round alters this as it also has the poisoned(2+) special rule. instead of wounding on a 4+ it will wound on a 2+.

the other 2 rounds have their own additional rules.

Really? Sniper Rifles aren't poisoned? Huh, I must be thinking of 4th ed again.

Thanks for answering my question

They weren't poisoned in 4th, either. They WERE poisoned in the Catachan Codex and the WD Cityfight Sniper could upgrade to poisoned rounds.

In addition the "X" counts as str 3 against vehicles, but its also rending.
