So I've been getting conflicting information. In the rules it says for vehicles "If a vehicle moves at combat speed it can only fire snapshots with its other weapons after shooting ordinance weapons" so you would assume that means walkers moving 6 do the same BUT for walkers it specifically states "walkers use the same rules for movement as infantry" not only that but when describing the shooting phase "so long as the walker hasn't run during this phase the walker may fire all of its weapons" so am I right to say that walkers fire at full ballistic skill with all weapons after moving as in the rules it specifically states combat speed and vehicle movement when walkers do not have this and have seperate rules?

The normal vehicle speed bands don't apply to walkers. They can fire all of their weapons on the move.

At full ballistic skill?

This quote "If a vehicle moves at combat speed it can only fire snapshots with its other weapons after shooting ordinance weapons" is not a rule, it is a mash up of two rules. 'if a vehicle moves at combat speed it can fire one weapon at full BS and the rest as snap shots' and 'if a vehicle fires an ordinance weapon the rest of the weapons must be fired as snap shots'.

The first one does not affect walkers, but the second does. So if they moved 6 inches they can fire all their weapons at full BS unless they have an ordinance weapon and fire it, then no matter how far they moved (or even if they didn't move at all) the walker has to fire the rest of its weapons as snapshots.

No but Phlegm is

Ok awesome, with the new formation torrent seems the way to go, as re-rolls at full ballistic skill is amazings

The torrent auto hits, so doesn't benefit as much. Phlegm does benefit from both parts.
