How do these two rules work together? Suppose for example I fire at something with a melta weapon and the enemy has been inflicted with the divination psychic attack that forces shots against it to cause rending.

Is it:

A) As long as either/both armourbane dice is a 6, i get to roll a maximum of one extra d3
B) For each 6 i roll, i get to roll one extra d3
C) armourbane trumps rend, so i will not get an extra d3 no matter what i roll
D) the total of my 2 dice add up to six, therefore i get an extra d3
E) rend trumps armourbane, so i get 1d6 for pen and an extra d3 if im lucky.

?

B. But it rarely matters since if you rolled a 6 on one of your two dice you're probably penetrating anyway

B. "for each armour penetration roll of a 6"

B. used to make for a ludicrously exceesive build for a carnifex with crushing claws - a maximum armour penetration roll of 28! (S10 + 2x6 + 2x3). overkill or what?

Prior Edition Vindicare Assassins were even worse as they had Rending and rolled 4D6 for Armour Penetration with the "Turbo Penetrator Rounds". Average pen result was something like 17 I think. Max was much higher.

S4 sniper+ (4*6)+(4*3) = 40 WINNERUU!!!

S3 at the time.
