I read in an imperial armour book that a coaxial weapon, if it scores a hit, allows the main gun to re-roll a failed to roll to hit
I also read that forge world allows heavy stubbers to be coaxial, So would this be allowed in normal games?

Also, if the stubber hits 3 times, does that mean 3 re-rolls to hit?

Thanls

you may never reroll a single die more than once, but i believe the VC is ordnance? A little rusty, but I think that means it can't fire any other guns :S

Unless it has Lumbering Behemouth Special Rule...

You get a maximum of one reroll if any hit and the Vanquisher is heavy 1. If you are shooting at anything with an armour value you roll 2D6 for penetration. Also, IIRC Ordinance just means that you roll 2D6 for penetration and pick the highest.

As for the question of allowing a coaxial in "normal games" it depends on what you mean by normal. In a tournament, never, in an informal game that is just for fun, ask your opponent and they will probably let you.

Actualy Ordnance means you cant move and shoot the Ordnance gun. Also you cant fire another weapon when you fire an Ordnance peice. unless of course you are a guard tank......

You can't use that rule in normal games w/o permission (not at tournaments at all). I wish you could though, I believe co-axial would be a great simple way to fix the Vanquisher.

Isn't that just for ordinance barrage?

Ordnance barrage, you cannot move or shoot anything else. For infantry, ordnance means you cannot have moved. For vehicles, it means you cannot shoot anything else.
