As ive understood from the new 40k rulebook. when you move a vehicle at combat speed, is it now true that i cannot fire both killcannon and big shootas in the same turn that i moved at combat speed with a battlewagon?

thankz in advance

luvdeorkz

You are correct, a Battlewagon moving at combat speed can only fire one main weapon.

In addition, killkannons are ordnance, and no other weapons, main or defensive, may fire if an ordnance weapon is fired, regardless of how far it moved.

bugga thanx

sorry to bother you again but i have another question.

when capturing strategic points in mission "seize ground" and "capture and control" in the standard missions, it says that only troop allowances may capture points.
and when you buy either a big mek or warboss you are allowed to make a deff dread and a squad of nobz respectively. can the dedicated troop choices of a deff dread and nobz take control of points since they are treated as a vehicle+troops and a troops choice respectively. same with wazdakka gutsmek and his biker squad as troops.

It does say that only units from the army's Troops allowance can score, unless:

1. The unit is a vehicle (the Deff Dred is a vehicle)

2. The unit has the Swarm special rule

3. The unit has a rule specifying that the unit can never count as a scoring unit (such as the Mindless rule, for example).

The mob of Nobz, taken as a Troop choice via the Warboss, will be a scoring unit. They are not a vehicle, do not have the Swarm special rule, and lack any other rule excluding them from scoring status.

Similarly the Warbiker mobs allowed by Wazdakka Gutsmek are not vehicles, don't have the Swarm special rule, and lack any other rule excluding them from scoring status.

This also means that mobs of Nobz on warbikes can be scoring units.
