In the Apoc game this past weekend I had a dreadnought assault my Ionhead which was equipped with Fanchette launchers. Were he assaulting with troops it would been easy as I rolled the number of attackers and assign wounds the saves etc.

But since it was a walker when then happens? if i wound do I auto glance instead of auto wound? So far I have been unable to find a FAQ answer to the question.

Edit: Spelling

The answer is simple. The Dreadnought has no Wounds characteristics in its profile, therefore it can not be wounded by Flechettes.

The Flechettes only have effect on enemy Infantry, vehicles are unaffected.

IIRC, the FD wounds enemy attackers on a 4+. Vehicles do not have wounds, hence a vehicle cares little about this upgrade (perhaps more especially an Ironclad). It does stand to 'reason' that something akin to frag grenades would have no effect on anything with an armor value.

EDIT: ninja'ed / Copy that

However, what say a wraithlord or carnifex try to melee one? They have wounds however they count as monstrous creatures.

Well, maybe I should have said "infantry", not "Infantry". Anything with a Wounds characteristics in its profile can be wounded by Flechettes.

My Flechette Discharger killed a Carnifex last night for that exact reason. No foolin'!

Isn't the FD a STR 8 Ap- hit. I think this would mean you had to make a pen. test on a walker

Nope. That is the large pie plate of the Failsafe Detonator. Flechettes wound any assaulting model on 4+.
