Landspeeder storm question

[threewolftats]

as I read the rules the LS storm is an open topped transport capacity 5 models, and in its equipment/armament includes a Heavy Bolter... so this would mean if i put a scout armed with a heavy bolter in it i would have 2 heavy bolters on board... and being open topped that would allow me to fire both....

Is this correct? I am modelling my scouts that come with it to be removable and making scenic bases to attach them to once they debark.... so if this is the case, I will need to model an additional Heavy bolter onto the landspeeder.....

any help would be appreciated...

The vehicle's and the transported squad's wargear never mixes or combines. To fire the HB mounted on the landspeeder storm, see the vehicles shooting rules in the rulebook. For the passengers firing their rules, see the passengers firing in the transport vehicle section of the rulebook.

The additional heavy bolter will need to be modelled on a scout model, not the land speeder.

thanks for the reply.....

to clarify, the heavy bolter that is part of the kit, is fired by one of the 5 scouts the model apparently carries.... so i was planning on modeling the additional HB underslung on the cerberus launcher, thus allowing me to take the fifth man with the HB off when the squad debarks........

might even upgrade the HB to an assualt cannon, since i has a spare one kicking around of another landspeeder.... and it would be easier to mod...
