Do concussive weapons like power mauls affect vehicles/walkers if they glance/pen?

If my chaplain glances a dreadnaught in close combat, does the dreadnaught attack at initive 1 now? What if he glances a razorback?

Thanks.

Did the Dreadnaught suffer an Unsaved Wound?

It's a legitimate question, Rustican. It seems reasonable that the weapon would have SOME effect on vehicles (especially walkers!) since it has such a nasty effect on people. With so many rules being scattered hither and yon throughout the book, it also seems reasonable that it might have been somewhere else (like the walker section, for instance).

Unfortunately, I don't believe that is the case. Concussive does nothing to vehicles.

What Jim said.

Concussive doesn't affect vehicles.

It will have no effect as it clearly only applies if an unsaved wound is caused and vehicles do not suffer wounds at all.

The only buff a Maul gives against a vehicle is the increased strength.


Wounds do need to be separate from Glances and Pens for a few reasons. if they were analogous, poison would start working against vehicles and that would be even messier fluffwise than it is now.
