How do!

Hopefully a brief and succinct one.

Weapon Destroyed results. First to go are any main weapons, defined as S6 and above. So if you’ve a fairly basic Predator with HB and Autocannon, you have to lose the Autocannon to the first Weapon Destroyed result. No problem with that bit.

But…where do Hunter Killers and Multi-Melta pintels fit in here? Both would be defined as Main Weapons, so in theory, and until I’ve fired off the HK, that alone would add two more Main Weapons? Because my brain is insisting they never count for weapon destroyed, or are simply destroyed by any penetrating hit. This I think is coming for old, old rule sets.

Aren't those lafeted and therefore always count as defensive weapons Mad Dok?

Lafeted? Not sure what you mean there.

There is something nagging at my mind they somehow don’t count.

Will consult my rulebook.

Pintle Mounted weapons are always counted as Defensive weapons - p. 206

Weapons with the One Shot special rule may not be selected to be destroyed unless there are no other weapons on the Vehicle - p. 208

It's the german name of the rule for sponsons and added on mm's and HB's on rhino plattforms and others.

Basically they always count as defensive weapons, even if they exceed S6 so that they can fire. Plenty handy for the rhinos and MM's.

Edit: See beasts post.

Cheers both!
