I run a mech heavy army, so I gotta know lol...

I keep getting told one thing or another and it's confuseing. D:

You can disembark, but you cannot then assault.

I don't have my BGB with me, but it should be under the Transports section and Cruising Speed.

Yes. An embarked unit can disembark after the vehicle moves, providing said vehicle did not move MORE than 12” that turn.

Note also, however, that a unit cannot embark and disembark in the same turn.

<nitpick> Orks can go 13"

But count as going 12"

They don't count as going 12". They count as going 13" but suffer no penalties for the extra inch. I do believe that they get any relevant bonuses.

Awesome!, I knew their would'nt be much point to a rhino if you couldnt move out more then 6 inches heh, thank's guys!!!

IG gunships have access to grav chutes.

G

You can, if you dont move the rhino, move out 2", move 6", and assault 6". Most peeps forget that fact

Can Rhinos still disembark after moving 12 inches?

I don't know, what's transporting them?

Ba-dum Ksh!

Just remember you cannot disembark, move the rhino out of the way then move the disembarked unit.

My rules-lawyering friend demanded to know what wording disallows this, when I told him the news. Is it because the BRB says to pick a unit, move it, then move another? He says that though disembarking counts as moving for the purposes of shooting, the fact that the unit "can then move" after disembarking means that disembarking is not in fact moving the unit - so that way you CAN disembark, do the vehicle's movement, then do the squad's movement.

He claims too that SHOULD disembarking be movement, that the disembarkation movement should then count against your maximum - since you've moved x inches so far, and you can move up to 6, then the remainder is all you get.

Yup the APC doesn't magically disappear to make more room.

Nor do Daemonette's go though a "Moonie" Transformation and become hot.

Thats how I've always seen the rule as, disembark (before moving) then move the unit or vehicle as you see fit

Rhinos are therefore great for Thousand sons as they are relentless. You get to drive 12 inches, pop out a max of 2 inches, then rapid fire AP3 bolters 24 inches. 38 inch range in total.

A Sailor Moon fan, eh?

Well, you have been seeing the rule wrong. By Disembarking, you are beginning that squads movement. If you then move the Rhino, you cannot go back to the squad.

The bolters are rapid fire but relentless does not give them a 'rapid fire' range of 24 inches. They'd only get one shot each, but yes it can be done that way. It may just be the way that my group discusses the game, but normally when we refer to rapid firing a weapon, we normally mean that it's within that 12" 2 shot range. So sorry if I misread your statement, just wanted to make sure that distinction was made.

Well, if we want to get really Nitpicky, no-one has "Rapid Fired" a weapon since 2nd edition. You fire a Rapid Fire Weapon, but there is no such thing as Rapid Firing a weapon

I wasn't claiming that it was an 'official' term, Gwar, merely that as the statement was written to me, it sounded like he was talking about a double shot at 24". I understand this is not an official game term, which is why I mentioned in my previous post that it's simply how my gaming group refers to a model firing a Rapid Fire weapon in that 12" range. My intent was to make sure that any players that also could have read that statement the way I did, did not get confused.

HA!


@OP - Models inside a vehicle can embark or disembark (not both) if the transporting vehicle didn't move beyond cruising speed. (Which by default is 12" - not sure if there are exceptions to this, but there you go)
