Twin-Linked weapons are a subtype of weapon found in the Warhammer 40,000 universe that embody the timeless tactic in warfare of ensuring a hit by slinging more rounds at the target. The way this is done is typically duct taping two guns together and firing them at once so that the target has to avoid twice the number of rounds. Typically vehicles, monstrous creatures and terminators carry twin-linked weapons, considering that typically only heavy weapons are twin-linked.

When trying to hit a target you can reroll if you miss. This is useful, especially if you are using a weapon that is rather likely to melt your face off rather than fire at all, as it means that if you get a Gets Hot! result you can reroll, though template Get's Hot! weapons roll for it before resolving scatter, so don't put too much faith in plasma cannons. Weapons that scatter reroll an undesirable result if they are twin-linked as well. This can be exploited to allow you to reroll ordinance (for example coupling a Triarch Stalker with a Doomsday Ark.
