If the Big Mek is within a Transport, do you measure 6" from the Mek, or the Transport.
-i.e. My Mec is thundering allong in a Battle Wagon, he has the Force-Field, Do you measure from the Mek, or Transport?
And if it was Closed up ('Ard case), do others get Protection from the Force-field, Measured from the Transport?

Maybe i need more coffieee, But i diddent see it in the Rule book, and if you see it in the Rule book, maybe you could tell me the Page?

The real answer is the mek isn't on the board so his KFF does nothing.

Per the 40k rulebook FAQ, models in transports (including open-topped ones) do not count as being on the table unless otherwise specified (ie: Chaos icons). Unless the Mek's KFF has a special rule (not terribly familar with that entry yet) allowing him to use the KFF while embarked (which would include the specific rules you needed on its use) then the field isn't going to do anyone any good.

Edit: Beaten by Stelek

I'm sure that someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that you measure from the hull in this case. Especially if it's close-topped.

And since models aren't actually on the table it applies even if it's open-topped...

Cool, thanks for the Replies.

The only thing it says is:
Modles within 6" get the 5+ Cover, and Vehicles (6") get Obscured targets, the Field has no effect in HtoH.

Thanks again.

Yeah, you can shoot out of vehicles as the *only* exception to the 'not on the table' rule--and only for shooting, you STILL aren't on the table.

Since you aren't firing, you fall back to 'not on the table' so if you aren't on the table...

Sorry mate. He's meant to be stuck in to a Ork Mob or by one, and give everyone possible a save.
