    The Scoped Bolter

    Ok so we all know that scouts, with the exception of Telion, don't get scoped or silenced bolters. So here's what I added in my fluff for a new chapter,

    Scoped Bolt Gun- (points to be decided upon)
    Can fire one shot at 30 inches, but can only rapid-fire at 12.

    So the point is the scope adds 6" to the maximum range. I made this upgrade available only to an elite version of scouts, so this wargear upgrade could only work on scout units.

    Feedback please!

    Rapid fire is limited to 12" regardless of the weapon's range, so this weapon is literally just a bolt gun with a 30" range.
    If it's for an elite unit you might as well go the whole hog and give them either kraken rounds or heavy 2 pinning boltguns (the old-style stalkers).

    Hi.
    Rather than mess about with PV , which can be subjective.
    Just say the scoped bolter counts as a Heavy weapon when firing single shot upto 30" away.

    Eg
    Scoped Bolter.
    Range 30" S 4 AP 5 Heavy 1
    Range 12" S4 AP5 Rapid Fire.

    Just a thought...

    I would also increase the AP on it to represent the increased accuracy when firing at full range, if only to 4. Otherwise it is just a 30" bolter.
