Dakka Trolls,

Here is a quick one I can't find an answer too: Do Lances affect vehicles counts as AV due to Quantum Shielding?

Technically, the vehicle is AV 11, but counts as AV 13. Well, does that mean when it's shot with a lance it's 11(plus 2=13) is the value used or does it reduce to 12 like other armor?

Thanks

MM

Yup. And while land raiders are technically AV14, when they're struck by lances, they count as AV12. "Counts as" is funny business, ain't it?

Lances never roll against any AV higher than 12. Besides blessed hull, anyway.

Pretty sure it's AV12, but I could see GW ruling it the other way. My answer is wait for the FAQ, and if it's not in the FAQ assume it's AV12.

AV12, as the hull is AV13 against all weapons, AV12 against lances being more specific

Yerp.

Count as does not mean it is however, "lance" does not care about that distinction.

"Until a vehicle suffers a penetrating hit, it counts all Armour Values on its front and side facings as being 2 points higher. Once the vehicle has suffered a penetrating hit, it uses its own armour value against subsequent hits." ~ Necron Codex, page 82.

"Lance weapons count Armour Values higher than 12 as 12." ~ Core Rules, page 32.

That's all I was trying to point out.

To clarify the above post, Yes lance weapons roll versus AV12 even on a quantum shielded vehicles.

here is how it goes

AV11
ADD +2 because of quantum shielding (AV13)
Reduce to AV12 because of lance (AV12)
