Default Re: 5th rumor:starter kit and new SM list

626 how does new rending work? I mean old rending caused "no save possible" wounds on units and an extra +D6 pen for tanks, but the new rundown of rending states it is an AP 2 hit on units and +D3 on vehicles, so isn't rending on units basically a power weapon? Since it isn't stated as having a save possible, plus has an AP value why not just call it a Powertoy in CC and a plasma pistol/gun/cannon for ranged?

Also, I think instead of the unspectacular +D3 pen it should work like the melta, not in terms of +D6 but if the hit equals the armor, it becomes AP1 and penetrates, or with the new damage table, adds +1 to the score.
