From the Index: Imperium 1 FAQ
Q: Is a Razorback firing a twin plasma gun destroyed if you roll a 1 to hit?
A: Yes.

Does this mean it dies even if I don't overcharge my plasma?

BAZINGA!

We have the first “well, technically” thread of the Big FAQ. Well done - you’re completely correct by strict laser-beam RAW but as usual the intent is abundantly clear.

(Who runs plasma Razorbacks anyway?)

Lol.
Fortunately it's a poorly worded faq, not an errata.

But Special Snowflake FAQs are a thing, and just as binding as errata.

Not bait, a genuine question. If we accept FAQs as being able to override the RaW, then this FAQ means that a Plasma Razorback will die even when not overcharging.

Cheers BCB thats insane logically. As it has 2 plasma guns so 4 dice at half range and a single 1 removed the razorback.
That surely can't be the intention, though it's totally Rules as FAQ'd

This would only apply to index razorbacks since they are, somehow, different from Codex razorbacks.

Codex Razorbacks do not have the "Lascannon/Twin Plasma" option, at least according to my current digital copy, nor to they have the twin heavy flamer option either.

They can use the Designers Commentary flowchart to get the Plasma option.

Well, that's a rather clever way to discourage players from taking that index option...

Indeed, but it is still the difference between Codex and Index Razorbacks. Hence the FAQ only applying to the Index.
