am i understanding rending right. if i roll X 6 on roll to wound i roll D3 roll X and another 6 shows up Roll D3 again. just keep rolling until no 6's show up?

You do not roll an extra D3 when you roll to wound.

The Extra D3 is only for Armor Penetration rolls when you roll a 6 for armor penetration.

If you are rolling to wound with a rending attack and you roll a 6 you count as AP2 and you auto wound regardless of toughness.

yeah sorry for not saying AP. but do i keep rolling for AP if more 6's show up on the extra D3?

No. You only gain the additional dice when you roll a "6" and you cannot roll a "6" on a d3.

No, as a 6 didn't show up, a 3 did. You rolled a d6 to represent a d3 since you dont have an actual d3 handy.

ooooh! ok i though the D3 was to see how many extra d6 i get to roll. but now i know ^_^

Right, so a sniper's max armor pen is 12:

S3 when hitting a vehicle, + 6 on the roll, + 3 (5 or 6) from the extra = 12

And an Assault Cannon is 15.

And a Vindicares turbo-penetrator round is max 39. That's thing could travel through two Land Raiders ans STILL kill someone lol. Maybe they should make it a Beam attack.
