Title: Ashnagaroth AV?
Post by: Kaile_Bloodhammer on September 09, 2010, 10:46:32 AM
I was looking through the rule book today while working on some of my marine rules and I saw that the Ashnagaroth has an AV value of 4.  The problem with this is that the weapon's DM is already 14, making it 18 against almost all vehicles.  I saw no mention of it in the FAQ so I thought I'd ask.  Mind you I have no problem with this, but I am going to assume that this is a typo.

The dexription gives it as a "lighter" version of the nazgaroth, so original Damage 10 with AV 4 to a value of 14 seems possible and likely to me, but I´m not that deep into the DL to estimate the balancing.

So the DAM 14 is possible too...

I vote for 10, but I would give that question to the FAQ team ;-)

I believe it was intended.

The value might seem high, but the Nazgaroth has 11(x2) damage while the Ashnagaroth has 14.

Both have AV-4, meaning the Nazgaroth is always statistically more effective against vehicles (% of inflicting a wound)

Oakwolf is correct, I believe.

To my knowledge, this is not a typo.  Remember that AV ratings (bonuses) are only used against models with Invulnerable SA; not every vehicle has that.  It is, indeed, a hefty weapon, but it is intended to be so.
