can someone please explain the rule for the screaming jets + shooting: in the rulebook it says no model can shoot out of a transport that moved more than 6" in the movement phase, and with the sreaming jets t rhe de raiders can deepstrike but apperently count as moving over 6"...BUT its open topped...can the models shoot on the turn they arrive via the raider or not???

Open topped has no effect on how a vehicle or its passengers can fire if it has DSed

P95, Deep Strike, 6th paragraph: Vehicles count as having moved at cruising speed.

P57, Vehicles and Movement, 3rd bullet point: A vehicle that travels more than 6" and up to 12" is moving at cruising speed.

P66, Transport Vehicles, Fire Points, 3rd paragraph: Models firing from a vehicle count as moving if the vehicle moves, and may not fire at all if the vehicle moved at cruising speed that turn.


A simple reading of the rules would have given you your answer.

Edit: Also this is in the wrong forum, make sure you post in the correct one.

The Limey has it right.

Read the rules BEFORE asking rules questions. Helps tremendously.

sooo...they can't shoot in that turn, right??!! damn, now they're really useless
