Combi (Bolter / Melta)

An ungainly and bulky weapon that combines a bolter with a melta gun. Expensive and unreliable, and its proud owner should consider having a backup for when this one jams.

Combi: Combi-weapons have multiple profiles. Any one of the weapon's profiles that are not Out of Ammo may be used when an attack is made with the weapon. However, when making an Ammo check with a Combi weapon two dice are rolled and the lower result is taken.

Rapid Fire (1): When firing with a Rapid Fire weapon, a successful hit roll scores a number of hits equal to the number of bullet holes on the Firepower dice.

If a Rapid Fire weapon scores more than one hit, the hits can be split between multiple targets. The first must be allocated to the initial target, but the remainder can be allocated to other fighters within 3" of the first who are also within range and line of sight. These must not be any harder to hit than the original target...for example if a target in the open is hit, an obscured target cannot have hits allocated to it. Allocate all of the hits before making any wound rolls.

Rapid Fire also works in close combat when on a weapon that also has the Pistol trait.

Melta: Attacks with this trait deal +1 Damage against targets that have an Armor save and objects that have one or more Wounds.

Scarce: The Reload (Simple) Action cannot be taken on a weapon profile with the Scarce trait.
