I've spent an hour looking for this answer but haven't found it yet.
Could some one post or direct me to stats for a frickin' hurricane bolter please and thank you?
I'm looking at finally adding some armour to my BA army.

Theyll be in the back of any SM codex


2000pts IG. ( based on fallout US Army)

3000pts XIIth Legiones Astartes 8th Assault Company. (Pre heresy)

never in the field of human conflict, has so much been fired at so many, by so few.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, Commander of the armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions. Loyal servant to the true emperor Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

It's three twin-linked Boltguns. It's stated on page 60 of the BA Codex.

For my gk codex it doesn't have a stat line all it says is that it is 3 tl bolters.

That's all I have been able to find. So I don't know what that means really.

I know the rule book states regarding bolters
But I'm confused as to how having 3 twin linked relates to the attack roll.

Curse my limited knowledge of game play.....

It means 3 Bolters re-rolling misses. It's Bolter not Heavy Bolter so it's 3 Str4/AP5 Rapid Fire shots with a reroll to hit.

He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

I thought a boltgun was a lesser version of a bolter. Page 60 called it a bolter but I'm now guessing bolter is just a term referring to any type of boltgun. My mistake. Thanks for the help

you just treat it as 3 boltguns, but you reroll any failed to hit rolls due to them being twin linked.

It doesn't have the stats of a heavy bolter. It's, literally, 6 boltguns strapped to each other, and it counts as 3 twin-linked boltguns, rapid fire and all.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Makes way more sense after every one's input. Thanks guys!!!

Any more advice regarding this? Should I use a Crusader or Redeemer for transporting my Terminators?
What seems to be the norm for people?

It's really simple... take three twin-linked bolters, and count them as one weapon. So it would be like

Hurricane Bolter S 4 AP 5 Rapid-fire 3, twin-linked

If you really need it laid out.

You seem to be confusing it with heavy bolters. Pretty much one hurricane bolter has the same output as three bikes without weapon upgrades, counting as a single weapon.

I transport my termies in a Crusader, and it works pretty well. The Redeemer, while apparently fearsome, is cursed. All of my opponents have thrown so much firepower at it that it always winds up destroyed first turn.
