Can I get next to an open topped ork vehicle and place a flamer template over the vehicle as such that I also cover all of the models transported inside of the truck, hence they have to take wounds along with the vehicle being possibly damaged.

No. You hit the vehicle, not the models inside it. They only take wounds if it's destroyed on a penetrating 6.

Otherwise that opens up people firing inferno cannons into landraiders as they disembark and roasting squads of terminators alive.

Same answer as I agve you on 40ko: is there anything in the rules that says you could? No, there isn't, so you can't. Read the transport rules, please.

Your response was that you're "leaning towards" a no, but I don't see how any leaning is necessary. If the rules don't say you can, you can't.Did you touch any models in the unit with the template? Nope. Is there some other rule that would make them get hit? Nope. It really is that simple.

Skorpion, your judgement is right, but your reasoning makes no sense. Why would that be a possibility? You can't shoot during your opponent's movement or assault phase, can you?

Edit: By the way, rules questions don't go here. They go in You Make Da Call.

Oh man! I thought he just made a badly worded proposed rule.

Proposed rule: flame templates that hit open-topped vehicles score hits on the embarked passengers as well.

Orks really should be more vulnerable to templates.
