Hi people - 2 quick questions:

1. Do they count as +1 strength vs vehicles (because they dont have an initiative characteristic)

2. If you get a 6 on armor penetration vs a vehicle, is the shot ap1?

I suspect the answer is no to both but just want to be sure as I have read posts that suggests others have interpreted the rules differently

Thanks,

1: Yes

2: Does it say a 6 to wound, or a 6 to wound and to penetrate?

2. No, because "to wound rolls". Spinniret rifle does have AP1 by default though.

Thanks people - well 1 out of 2 isn't bad. So S7 against vehicles, nice little bonus

Yep, S8 if you use whatever the night spinner has. Which is pretty damn scary.

Speaking of monofiliment weapons, they are your best friends against necrons. You will always get that +1S bonus, and the night spinner has a chance to wipe out wraiths (provided they fail their invuls, of course).

Note that Walkers with I4 or better, such as Dreadnoughts, are still hit at S6 though.
