i guess they might be for 40k, I just looked over the M1 Abrams tank; seems like they're hauling 42 rounds for their main cannon…of course keeping in mind that in 40k everything is BIGGER, I still find 12 shells a bit on the low, I would double it at least.

 A WW2 Sherman Tank carried 55 or 90 shells.
According to the Lexicanum it carries 40 Shells

Gadzooks! I hadn't thought of that! It works so well it's almost as though we planned it!….On purpose!….

Braddoc, Santiago; Having consulted Imperial Armour Vol 1: Imperial Guard and Imperial Navy, I must concur that the loadout for a Leman Russ Battle Tank is indeed, 40 shells.

All righty then.

Page 136, under ' Modified Stock'

When a character takes an Aim Action with weapons
modi?ed in this way, he receives an additional +2 bonus on
a Half Action or an additional +4 bonus for a Full Action.

I suppose it is either more damage, or +20/+40 aiming bonus.

Tanks are either enormous size or in case of Baneblade massive but Table 5-6 Size from Traits chapter give size 6 - enormous to Sentinels and size 7 - massive to battle tanks. So tell me please which one is correct (altough I think that Table 5-6 Size makes more sense).

*looks at Table 5-6*

Hmm… that is interesting.

The vehicle sizes in each entry are based upon comparisons or extrapolations from other vehicle rules (ie. Rites of Battle's Land Raider is Enormous). You could make the argument that those vehicle sizes are too small (and therefore so to are the Only War sizes).

Not sure how to approach this one. Massive for the Russ (and variants), Chimera, Hellhound and Basilisk would make sense. Not so sure on the +50 for the Baneblade though.

In table 6-2, ceasefire gives +30 to checks, but is higher up then the conditions that give +10 and +20.

Man-Portable Lascannon – Page 125

Extremely Rare? That means no Regiment can add it to their standard gear (the limit is Very Rare). That doesn’t gel with established Guard norms. Lascannons aren’t all that rare in comparison to most other heavy weapons. Autocannons, Heavy Bolters, Lascannons, Mortars and Missile Launchers are the norm.

It’s harder for a Guard unit to get a Lascannon than it is for them to get a Multi-Melta or Plasma Cannon (both on page 125 as well). That doesn’t make any sense.

Meltaguns - Page 125

The Meltagun is listed as "Extremely Rare". This doesn't make a lot of sense. Plasma Guns are meant to be the rare ones, not Meltaguns. And why would a Multi-Melta be more common (comparatively) than a Meltagun? I think this is a copy/paste error, as the Inferno Pistol above is Extremely Rare (as it should be).

Ogryn Ripper Gun – Page 125

Ogryn Ripper Guns are as big as Marines. There’s no way a Guardsman should be able to use one without serious training. They should be Heavy Weapons and weigh more than a Heavy Stubber. They really should be 40kg (and Ogryn should have Bulging Biceps as standard to counter-act the new Heavy Weapon status).

Omnissian Axe – Page 132

The damage value is incongruent with previous versions of the Omnissian Axe. Moreover, it does less damage than a Power Sword, and it’s a two-handed weapon. I’d suggest 1d10+7 Pen 7.

Ramshackle Vehicle Trait – Page 154

This line presents a problem if taken as Rules as Written:

“Vehicles with the Ramshackle Vehicle Trait are always treated as Lightly Damaged unless they have taken Critical Damage.”

Read literally that would mean that even undamaged vehicles with the Ramshackle Vehicle Trait are treated as Lightly Damaged. That was not my intent when I wrote that rule!!! I would replace the line with:

“Damaged vehicles with this Vehicle Trait are always treated as Lightly Damaged as long as they have Structural Integrity remaining.”

Sorry. My bad.

 On the issue of the tank weapons (battle cannon et al), the tabletop fluff for these weapons makes it very clear that they are higher caliber autocannons, so having multiple shot magazines actually fits for them. That said, it would be nice for the vehicle stat-blocks to list how many magazines they carry per weapon system. Additionally, wouldn't vehicle-mounted las-weapons- such as the Chimera's multi-laser or the Leman Russ's hull-mounted lascannon- run their charge directly from the vehicle's power plant rather than relying on proprietary power sources? Perhaps a recharge mechanic or giving these weapons functionally limitless ammunition- with a reload time to allow for recharging capacitors- would be appropriate. Sponson-mounted weapons on the Leman Russ and the Baneblade should probably have a facing of Front.

As to Table 6-2, a (presumably temporary) ceasefire would be the easiest time to acquire new gear. During active combat, it's hard to get to a supply depot- as reflected by the rules. When the force is dominating, resources might be redirected to other fronts. I would, however, suggest reversing the listings for Near Victorious and Dominant; either the entries in total or their listed bonuses.

I'm happy to accept that it fires larger autocannon style shells and I am happy to accept that the fluff supports that. However, I find the concept of shells that large being used in a magazine inside a tank utterly ridiculous. Look at the turret, the magazine simply wouldn't fit, not two rounds let alone twelve!

Besides, internal diagrams show the shells being stored individually.

I reckon it would help if I actually read the entry on Sponson weapons. Herpaderp.
