Can I disembark after a fast move with my trukk? Then waaagh and assault?

**Lord_Ghazghkull**

if you go 12" yes... if you go 24" no. 24" is Flat out and flat out means your guys are holding on for dear life trying not to fall off.

P70 of the AoBR mini rule book
"fast transport vehicles:
passengers may not embark onto or disembark from a fast transport if it has moved( or going to move) flat out in that movement phase"

**Org**

Okay. THanks!

**Ridcully**

Anywhere from 12"-24" is a no.

**BlueDagger**

12.00000000000000001" to 24"

**Red_Lives**

No he's orK, you mean 13-24" (Due to redpaint!!!)

**Lord_Ghazghkull**

OMG OF COURSE

RedONES GO FASTA

**don_mondo**

Actually, since it's not a skimmer, it can only go up to 18"............. plus red paint

not exactally.. it can go upto 24 on a city road. or 18 in flat land.. but the way my friends play it .. is flat land can always go 24

**Red_Lives**

My bad 18" max

**Twalks**

Crazy skimmer trucks...

**Lord_Ghazghkull**

page 70
a fast vehicle moving flat out on a road can move upto 24"

**BlueDagger**

All of yall are wrong 13.0000001" to 25"

12.00000001" minimum full out
13.00000001" Minimum full out with red paint
18" max full out non skimmer
19" max full out non skimmer with red paint
24" max full out on road
25" max full out on road with red paint

**blaktoof**

put a ram on it and ram it into an enemy vehicle, then if it blows up your lads are now on the ground after going fast...

What do your friends have against playing by the rules?

A trukk with a reinforced ram may not actually ram an enemy vehicle by the best (IMO) interpretation of the rules. This is hotly debated, however. I just don't think you should post like it is a sure-fire tactic when by many people's interpretations it won't work at all.

Moreover, if a vehicle moves fast its passangers may not disembark during that movement phase. Thus, if you were able to ram with a truck (you can't) and it blew up, the guys inside would be dead as they are unable to disembark.

You do realize its called a Reinforced RAM. Its called a RAM for a reason. Ram's are for RAMMING.

Trukks with Reinforced Rams can ram other vehicles.

**kirsanth**

Except that it does not say that.

Real life meaning =/= game meaning. Reinforced Rams are defined, and no where in that definition does it state you can Ram.

Can I shoot thunder from my thunder hammer? It has the word thunder in it....

Get my point?

edit: I don't wish to get into another Tank shock equals or does not equal Ram, so if that is your approach then I will say we have to agree to disagree.

Just remember that when making a rules argument the title of a peice of wargear has absolutely no meaning behind it - it is simply a way of referencing the wargear.

**Dutch508**

How about a rule that if you go all out in a trukk, you role one D6 to see how many boyz fall out along the way?

**Dracos**

Umm, thats not really the topic of this thread. I see you are relatively new to these forums. You are describing a kinda "home brew" rule, whereas this forum (and subsequently this thread) is for the purpose of discussing the actual rules of the game.

Your proposed rule sounds fluffy and fun, but unfortunately is out of place in this thread. Try putting your idea in the proposed rules forum as a possible house rule.

And for another interpretation, you could look at the front of a train. The purpose of the 'cowcatcher' or 'ram' is to move a piece of debris, or an animal, out of the way so the vehicle can keep going. Reinforced ram on a truck lets it re-roll difficult terrain tests.

Nothing in the rules suggests that a reinforced ram lets you ram.

Noted.

I can reasonably say that I have never played a game with roads. We war in an uncivilized future.

Lots of roads where I play .. but I've only played one game with water (lots IG with chimera just doesn't seem popular) .

**Karon**

Meh, GW needs to stop making all these confusing rules.

Deff rollas, rams, I wonder if they take the few years writing the codex just making them, and a few hours writing it, or if they play-test it, lol.

**KingCracker**

Well they do play test the new rules but Ive heard that its literally only with a squad each. Thats really gunna show you if something is going to work well

**...Waaagh?**

about the red paint job, it still counts as having moved 12" oh and by the way.... speed freaks arnt all that, ork big mek Waaagh! ftw

**nosferatu1001**

More specificallt Ork big mek in battlewagons FTW. The UK GT winner from last year used that at a local tourney...VPs wise he gained all bar 60points - half points for a squad that he didnt manage to kill.

Of course it has Ghazzy in it....

**Cptn. Waaagh!**

Where does it say that skimmers can move up to 24"?

Just for reference.
