pg 135 Motion Predictor

Doesn't include the bit about counting as a sight and guns may only have one sight.

 

What do you call a lasgun with a laser sight? Twin-linked.

P118 - Random Issue Gear

High Provender is not defined anywhere in the book.

 

I know what it means from playing Dark Heresy, but I'd be lying if I said I said I knew the phrase beforehand. A description in P143 (Drugs and Consumables) would be good.

Would also be useful to assign a rarity to it as a ratling could potentially use Trade (Cook) to generate some, to use as bribes for Working the System.

No description, rules or mention of Psy Focus outside of the specialist equipment: of the . Sanctioned Psyker. If I didn’t missed it.

Death Korps of Krieg have 2 Gas Grenades as part of their standard kit, and yet there's no line or rules for them in the grenade section.

Found out the hard way when my Krieg Commissar wanted to throw one in our game on Sunday.

 These gas grenades should be photon flash grenades as indicated under the siege doctrine…

Going what I know of Krieg from Siege of Vraks (where in the army list the Gas Grenades are like WW1 chemical weapons and actually do damage), the Gas Grenades shouldn't operate as a Photon Flash Grenade, and I don't remember reading that anywhere, so that doesn't make sense to me.

stun grenades on p. 131 should require a toughness -20 test according to the concussive(2) trait. also the stun duration should be handled as written under the concussive trait, not just a random 1d5 rounds.

on page 136 the upgrade vox-operated is a pure fluff upgrade. shouldn't it have some kind of benefit? Also it talks about a fire selector. this upgrade isn't in the book (it would be a great one btw.)

page 135 to 136, the tripod bipod. What good does it do? It says I can mount it on a basic weapon. I guess a bipod on a basic weapon like a sniper rifle gives a bonus to ballistic tests? of halfs called shots?

Tripod/bipod exist to allow braced heavy weapons to have a broader field of fire. At base, when you brace, you must declare a 45 degree arc that makes sense to shoot at. A bipod/tripod increases that field to 90/180 degrees respectively.

what does it do on a basic weapon?

Expands the field of Overwatch.

If you're looking for a bonus to BS, there is none to be found with a bipod/tripod.

p.135

silencer

where is the rule concerning "hearing shots" and what is the normal distance that those tests can be attempted at?

so on a tripod i can overwatch 180 degrees? then that should be noted there. because usually you don't brace basic weapons.

Looking at it further, I'm probably wrong about the Overwatch thing.

Quick update. 

Triplex lasgun costs the same as a hot-shot lasgun while being worse in every way. Should be downgraded to Average in this testers opinon, to make it an option equal with autoguns and shotguns.

From the book itself:

A weapon braced on a bipod has a 90-degree fire arc, while one on a tripod has a 180-degree arc.

So unless you have Bulging Biceps or Auto-Stabilized you'll have a reduce arc of fire while braced.
