Say the Grav Cannon for instance, if I don't move I get 5 shots at 24" and if I do I get 3 shots at 12"? Am i interpreting it right?

That's correct. The number before the / and half range for moving, full range and the number after the / for being stationary. Of course Relentless, and Slow and Purposeful, interact with Salvo weapons, just in case you didn't know.

Cheers mate, just wanted to know the deal with them before I start regularly coming up against grav weapons, thanks!

Remember you can not charge after shooting a salvo even with the smaller profile (which is stupid to me)

Salvo is basically an upgunned version of rapidfire so it makes perfect sense you can't charge after firing them.

I see what you are saying and why they did it that way but to me it seems more like they should be assault with the smaller profile and a heavy with the second. (Or treated similarly anyways)

I do get your point about rapid fire though.

i would like them to have a 3rd profile.. like 1 shot assault but.. thats just wishlisting

Same for Rapid Fire, too.

But yeah, allowing an up-gunned version of Rapid Fire to Charge while the regular can't is really bad form.

Salvo is sort of the 3rd/4th edition rapid fire in reverse, back then rapid fire was move and shoot twice to 12/half, stand still amd shoot once beyond or twice to 12/half(i think 5th was also the half).

As an old man salvo makes perfect sense to me(fire a bunch of shots that are impossible to aim on the move and less shots able to connect at half, or brace yourself by not moving to aim properly at full range; then the no assault is because you are half realing from the recoil)

For salvo to be actually useful on non Relentless models that range halving needs to go away.

I'd argue Salvo with a range >24" can be useful on non relentless platforms (Devs with Grav, Noise Marines, Grey Knight Psycannons) though not ideal. Salvo with >36" range would be absolutely fine on non relentless stuff.

But your 18" range salvo is a waste of time if you're not relentless.
