So this is an interesting rule. It means that Dreadnoughts get wounded by bolters on 5+.

In close range, double-tapping bolters will hit on a 3+, wound on a 5+ and be ignored on a 3+.. That means that a unit of 9 marines, shooting 18 times, will get:

12 hits.
4 wounds.
1.33 after saves.

But even MORE important, you have Tau Fire Warriors, which now wound Knights on a 5+.

You won't be causing 20 wounds to a Knight, but even the biggest Knight has to accept a little battle damage when getting in close with Tau.

A couple of units of Fire Warriors in a transport, dropped off in close range will knock off 4 wounds. Not a bad way to finish off that wounded Knight.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725374/9350855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725374/9350855.page GMT https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/724730.page]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725374/9350861.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/725374/9350861.page GMT
