Hey guys,

This may be covered in the rulebook, but we couldn't find it, and I couldn't find another post about it in these forums (so I apologize if the answer exists and I couldn't find it).

Last night my friend was shooting at one of my Immolator tanks with a venom cannon. He beat the strength of the armor on the Immolator and rolled weapon destroyed.

My question is this. With twin-linked heavy flamers, do they reduce to one single heavy flamer, or is the twin-linked weapon destroyed? We went with both being destroyed, and in one lucky shot my Immolator was reduced to a minor nuisance, especially since with his synaptic models i was unable to even cause him any trouble overrunning his units.

Thanks for any ruling on this in advance!

You played it right. Weapon Destroyed is just that, regardless if it is twin-linked or not.

Twin linked templates reroll wounding.

There are some exceptions-- there are a couple units that are described as having "two flamers firing in unison that count as a heavy flamer" and explicitly state that a weapon destroyed result downgrades it to a regular flamer. I think the only remaining examples of that are in Imperial Armour, though, since the defiler doesn't work that way in the new codex.

The Penitent Engine still works that way.
