Had an interesting rules query come up a day or 2 ago. My tyranid warriors engaged a hellhound in cc and struck it with bioplasma at I10. This caused an immobilized result. Would the rest of the (normal I5...with adrenal glands) attacks then automatically hit? I thought so, but the IG player was insistant that this wasn't the case. Please help me out with this one guys and gals...

I suggest reading this thread:

While the basic rules for attacking a vehicle seem to give two possible options when attacking a vehicle that is currently immobilized but which also moved in its previous turn, when you also factor in what the rules for 'assaulting a fast vehicle' on page 70 of the rulebook say you realize that it is pretty darn clear:

As soon as a vehicle is immobilized then attacks in CC hit automatically.

So yes, if you immobilize a vehicle at I10, attacks at a lower Initiative value would then hit automatically.

Yep you've got it right page 36 "...Work your way through the initiative values of the models engaged in combat ..." + "... models make their attacks when their initiative value is reached"
and when you get to the I5 attacks you look at the chart to hit vehicles. Immobilised = automatic hit so that what happens.

Excellent...makes them cc warriors worth taking.

They were worth taking IMHO anyway, but now bio-plasma is awsomer

My point exactly...gives them a greater chance of hurting vehicles with the +1S and the fact it always hits on 4+ regardless of speed.
