What is the BS of a vengeance weapon battery gun? The Stronghold Assault book isn't clear on it (or if it is, I'm blind). Thank you.

2, same as all emplaced weapons/ weapon emplacements

pg 96, automated fire, has the answer.

but ya it's 2

unless you pay for machine spirit

I dont think you can on VWB

You can't buy Machine Spirit for it, you may only use its own options for different weapons or add Obstacles.

- Stronghold Assault, p.47

Thank you for the answers but now I have another question I thought I'd tack on here. Is the vengeance weapon battery worth it? At BS 2, I'm not so sure.

Yes. Stick a blast weapon on it, and as it ignores basically the entire damage table it is surprisingly resilient.

It's amazing. Cheap and highly destructive, works best with long-mid range armies that need AP 2 weaponry. Necrons like it. BS 2 isn't too bad as it uses a template, so technically, you lose about 2'' of precision - but since it's a large blast template, it's often enough to deal damage.

The Blast marker it fires is AP3. The AP2 weapon is not a blast.

Tru.
