I'm a little fuzzy on this, despite having read the rules on it a few times. The last version of red paint said the the vehicle counted as moving 1" less than it did. However, the new red paint says it may move one more inch without penalty.

So my question is this- If my open-topped battlewagon moves 13" with red paint, may the embarked troops still fire as if they had moved 12", or does the coverage only extend to the battlewagon? Thanks for any clarifications.

my understanding (and I play this way with trukks as well) is that you CAN move 13" and count as only moving 12 so the boyz in a battlewagon or trukk can fire anyway. nobody has given me grief about the ruling in that direction since I started playing with the new codex

It would all depend on where the rules for infantry assaulting out of a vehicle or even disembarking out of a vehicle. If these are found in the vehicle rules then the penalty for moving over 12" is lifted and the troops may in fact disembark the vehicle. If the rules are in the infantry section then that is another story. If memory serves me correct then it is listed in the transport section of the vehicle rules and the penalty imposed is lifted for the red paint job upgrade.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm going to be running 3 battlewagons in an RT this Saturday, and wanted to have some idea of the response before I talked to the tourney coordinator.
