Hi

If I got several combi weaponds in the same unit, lets say 2 combi melta, 2 combi plasma
Do I have to shoot them all in the same turn? or can i decide to just shoot 1xmelta round 1 and save the other one for round 2 and the plasmas for round 3-4?

Im looking in the rulebook page 176 and it say "The main and the secondary weaponds of a combi-weapond fire at the same time as all other similarly named weapons in that unit.

I read this as I have too use both meltas when im shooting and when i decid to shoot the plasma I need to use both then.
How does it work?


Another question... Instant death rule, does it apply both in shooting and close combat?

Thanks for your help

You decide how many of the same type you shoot.
The BRB states that you pool the same weapons, so you can shoot 1 Melta and 1 Plasma this turn, but can't go back and pop the other two in the same turn.
The sentence you quoted says that you have to shoot the Melta part of the combi weapon at the same time as a normal Melta you may have in the squad.

The Instant Death Rule says that:

Any Wound allocated to a model has the Instant Death special rule if the Strength value of that attack is at least double the Toughness value (after modifiers) of that model.
Instant Death: If a model suffers an unsaved Wound from an attack with this special rule, it is reduced to 0 Wounds and removed as a casualty.

If I'm correct "Any wound" means all kind of wounds, so it applies both in shooting and close combat.

Thanks alot guys for the fast reply.
