I've always wondered how many guns a Deffkopta carries. On the model it shows two twin linked big shootas (or rocket launchas) and it never is specific (as far as I can find) as to how many guns it has on it? I see indications of both. I mgiht just be missing something. Please let me know you're thoughts

I wondered about this with the new model as it has 4 rokkits, but really only a twin linked rokkit laucha as an option.

As with all things Ork - you can neva have too much.

I've got a couple of pics of my Kopta's in my gallery.

It also refers to the Deffkoptas being able to replace their twin linked big shootas which makes you think they have more than one.

It doesn't matter how many guns it has on it - you still only get to roll 3 dice.

It just looks more like an ork vehicle with more guns.

k, thanks

Well if you see the killa kan rokkits, you see they have two even though it is just a single rokkitlauncha. To last the whole battle you would need six or seven really, but I guess the principle would be something like:

Turn 1: One rokkit fired.
Turn 2: Second rokkit fired and first one reloaded
Turn 3: first rokkit fired, second one reloaded

And on like this.
(I do not know what would be reloading it, but still.)
So with the twin rokkit launcha you infact have two Kan rokkit launchas. 2 rokkits on the rack generally means a single rokkitlauncha, 4 rokkits generally means twin linked rokkit launcha. Note that this principle just goes for vehicles usually.

When it comes to big shootas, when they are twinlinked, more ambitious converters let 1 looted assault cannon or other minigun weapon represent the twin bigshoota. Other people let two heavystubbers (who have three shoots but strength 4) represent one big shoota or looted heavy bolter. As such, The koptas twin bigshootas will sometimes be represented by four heavy stubbers. Other people say 2 shootas=1 big shoota, and represent twin bigshootas with quad shootas.

Thanks for listening

Edited to get soapbox right.

Yes, just to confirm what others have said, it does not matter how many rokkits/gunz are on it, the rules say 1 Twin-Linked weapon, so that is all you get.
