Bolter = Boltgun question

[Nabterayl]

So, does that mean that a Land Raider Crusader fires 4x3 twin linked shots per sponson? And that if they shoot at the same target it will be 24 shots up to 24" O_o

Also, if the standard of devastation bearer is in LR Crusader, is the range measured from the hull of the LR, or does the banner require model to be on the table for the banner to work? I mean, a group of three LR Crusaders with total of 72 tl bolter shots plus the assault cannons from all three will decimate pretty much all infantry formations there are, given that they are on range ofc.

Yes, you've got that all right as I read it.

I may be reading that wrong but it would fire ( one sponson ) 6 shots at 12" or 3 shots at 24" both are twin linked, not 24 shots at 24" from both.

Edit: two sponsons on a LRC. each is 3 bolters. so it works just like firering 6 guys on foot except that each bolter is twin linked. If that makes sense.

Point your friends to the DA FAQ

Thanks. I looked in the FAQ yesterday and didn't find this. I must have overlooked it. Can you point me to it please?

Wouldn't range for the shot be measured form the barrel of the weapon?

[Houghten]

Not the range for the shot, the range of the banner's effect.

Ah, OK.

Spaceman91; Bolters in a DA army within range of a Banner of Devastation gain Salvo 2/4 , so 4 shots per gun.
A normal hurricane bolter is as you describe.

Thank, I looked in the Space Marine and Main Rulebook FAQs, I didn't think to look in the DA one as the question came up over a Grey Knights unit that had a Hurricane Bolter.

And said rules for Hurricane Bolter are inconveniently omitted from the Grey Knights Codex and FAQ Updates. Both my Stormraven and Land Raider Crusader have side sponsons of such.
