Hi fellows,
no, this is not just another thread about complaining about the overpowered full auto rules in Deathwatch. If I did understand it so far, we war all quite happy with the 'new rules' showing up in Black Crusade and afterwards in Only War.
I am now just curios about there new rules, since I do not have the new books and try to follow any changes according to the Black Crusade and Only War Fast Play Rules in the according download section.
If I get it right, the best change was to grant single shot a +10 bonus, semi-burst no bonus and full auto a -10 malus. Furthermore in Black Crusade they changed the semi-burst to be a half-action and in Only War even Full Auto became a half action … well. Is this a misprint in the preview booklet?
So what is the best option currently avaible? Using the rules as offered in Black Crusade in Addition with the 'downgraded' weapon stats from the Errata for Deathwatch?
Best wishes,
TechVoid.
