Rending on MM never has any effect in game, except if you are shooting at an AV14 target from outside the melta range, in that case you get a glance promoted to a pen

er just confirmed that it can do - if you roll a 6 you autowound, if you donlt have redning you can fail to wound - so it can have an effect - not that often but ift can - "never" is simply correct.

Dominons already have Scout which does exactly that. Gets you further forward - what more could you want?

I'd like more stuff for the AOF and for other units in te Codex (and loads of other things) but let remember that the current Dominion squad is a unit pretty much every other codex would envy..... therefore its likely to be nerferd if we get another codex.

Re rending - well I donl't know abut you I would always rather auto wound that roll "anythig but a one" cos that happens far to often

Rending has not worked that way for TWO editions.

S8 ALWAYS wound when rolling a 6 already. There is no T greater than 10 in the game, and it would take T12 for a 6 not to wound.

Morden do you even know how rending works?

It auto-wounds on a TO WOUND roll of a 6.
I can think of no scenario in the game that a unit is not already wounded by a S8 gun rolling a 6, and the AP1 means armor saves cannot be taken anyway. it does NOTHING.

Scout is nice and all, but a "speed act of faith" can easily be a shunt-style move (probably shorter. say, 12"?) the reason people envy dominos is not a good reason, they envy a SPESIFIC setup. the melta dominos, and their cover ignoring skill on a scouting unit, making them silly good alpha strike, but nothing else.
Shunt dominos would still be cool melta units-and less shoehorned into alpha strike roles, but will also matter as flamer units. no way to redeem stormbolter doms though, stormbolters are a pointless gun regardless of platform :\

Ah yes - sorry forgot - my apologies - I'll shut up.

Rending MM are useful when you're facing AV 20 Vehicles.
You know, Forgeworld releasing the Warlord being much more probable of a rumour (was it just announced rather than rumour?) than the New SoB Models....
