Rules questions

[groffus]

Hi guys,
I have some questions about the rules for the new boxset.

I know these are probably silly questions but I have not played a game from the 3rd eddition of 40k and I am playing a person who has never played a game. My closest GW is 40 miles away so going there to get the answers is not an option.

:redface:

1. What is the save for a deftcopter? (I was playing a game the other day and I could not make out what the save was when they were shot at by marines. )

2. When assaulting with a deftcopter what are the rules? (I would expect the orcs to try and cut the enemy up with the blades which would be 4 close combat weapons)

I was sitting here thinking \"...but it gives the save in the statline...\" And then I realised you\'re getting your info from the how to play booklet in the core game lol

A Defkopta has a 4+ save and the rider is armed with a slugga and choppa so 2 attacks base and one extra for the two cc weapons. The rotors are there to keep it in the air although I wouldn\'t put it past them to use them as big choppy weapons, if you charge you\'ll get an extra attack on top of the three you already have making 4 in total. Don\'t forget you only get that extra one on the turn you charge.

lol Thanks for the help.

I dont feel just a silly now. I did use the rules you stated but I just thought they might be tougher. Thanks for sorting that for me.
