Hi guys,

Just need some rules clarification. So confused!!

Q1. Do you need to brace heavy weapon every turn to avoid the -30% BS, or just once as long as you don't move?

Q2. The RoF of the Heavy Bolter is -/-/10. So is the 10 its standard attack? Or is that a full auto attack?

Q3. When shooting at a horde, the rules for unrelenting devestation state every hit reduces its magnitude by one. Is that every hit, or every hit that damages?

Q4. If you succeed in causing a righteous fury (roll of a 10 for damage) and generate an additional hit, does that generated hit benefit from the unrelenting devestation rule, therefore reducing the hordes magnitude by a further 1?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Q1. Ah, missed that, thanks!

Q2. Excellent, thanks again.

Q3. The rulebook states "the Devestator marine inflicts 1 point of damage to a Horde's magnitude for every hit " =o makes it seem like you only have to hit, not damage. But yeah its a moot point, will always damage a horde I suppose!

Q4. Any reason you say this? The book states that righteous fury initiates a second attack roll that is identical to the original attack. It seems to follow that it would also be subject to the unrelenting devestation rule aswell?

The second roll isn't an actual attack, it's a percentile roll to see if your attack was exceptionally successful. It is similar to "confirming a crit" in 3rd Ed. D&D.

I see, thanks.

The second attack roll is more to make sure the righteous fury actually occurs. "If that second attack hits, the attacker may make an additional damage roll and add it to the Damage total."

I take it as though the righteous fury attack simply adds damage to the attack, it does not create another attack.
