Can a Big Mek with KFF, embarked in an open topped transport, grant a cover save to units within six inches of his vehicle? I have searched old posts and found 3 posts saying yes and one saying no, however the only rule citation I could find seemed a little vague to me. I cant find anything in the ork codex, faq, or the BRB that says specifically if you can or cannot do this. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Yes - when measuring ranges to a unit embarked in a transport, you measure TO the transport.

It makes no difference if it is open or close topped, assuming the power can work...

This is correct and true.

I guess I wasnt clear with my question. I understand that non-shooting abilities/powers/wargear etc.. that require a measurment from an embarked model, instead measure from the hull of the vehicle while they are embarked. Does that rule then imply that any ability a model possesses can be used while embarked unless specifically prohibited in the rules?

Yes

Nevermind.
