Raulmichile Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 With the new rules that apply to it: Do I need to roll 3 dice for "gets hot" USR every time I fire the cannon or is it only once every time the tank shhots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Hmm, Executioner Plasma Cannon. Type: Heavy 3, Blast, Gets Hot Let's consult the holy book of rules ... Wleapons that do not roll To Hit (such as Blast weapons) must roll a D6 for each shot immediately before firing. Yep. 3 shots = 3 dice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderhawk3015 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 To be expected. Reading C:AM with some of the changes I couldn't help but wonder at the (actual) reasoning behind the changes because they made little sense. Good thing FW has conversion kits for Conquerors. Been wondering if they would be a good investment, now it looks like I get to replace my two Executioner turrets with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaolin_Monkey Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 They really aren't that bad with gets hot. By my calculations (quite possibly erroneous) there is only a 3% chance of rolling three or more 1's when shooting the full 5 plasma blasts (turret and sponsons) each turn.

Ive used two executioners with plasma cannons and a ML2 psyker, got hot twice, one succesfully rerolled and another I saved it so didn't lose a HP, its not as bad as people make it up to be.

Shaolin_Monkey Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I would love to run Pask with it just for the joy of a plasma large blast but can't work out whether it's worth it when you trade three small for one large... Any opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 It depends on how tightly packed they are and how big of an area the target is taking up normally, but in the case of plasma weapons, one big is also a lot safer than three small.

Cpt_Reaper Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Don't forget vehicles only suffer damage on an addition roll of 1,2 or 3 if your weapon gets hot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Indeed, it's not an instant death knell by any means but it is something to consider when looking at the sponsons. It will probably mean your tank gets knocked out sooner but you might think that worth the risk! Personally I'd rather lose a tank to enemy action than my own :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
