Hi guys, i was playing 40k with a friend, and his Dreadnought assaulted my carnifex, nothing confusing there, but when i tried to hit back, we didnt know how to hit vehicles in CC, as we are pretty new to the rules. can you help?

And, even though necron wraiths count as jetbikes, can they run in the shooting phase?

thanks.

I was just about to type it all out when i remmemberred those GW C&D's flyin around and how we don't want them in Dakka. So try the BGB pages 63, for assaulting vehicles, and 73, for fighting walkers.

As far as i am aware Wraiths are still cuonted as infantry that move liek a jetbike. As they are infantry they shoudl eb ablt to run......i think.

dreads are easy!!

They have a WS and so do carnis. so exchange WS as normal.

If it's a tank with tracks, it's alittle different.

Tanks that don't move are auto-hit.

tanks that move up to 6" are hit on 4+

tanks that move further up to 12" are hit on 6's.

jetbikes share rules with bikes ergo, no they cannot run. (they already move 12".)

Just bear in mind that, when assaultign a normal tank, you hit rear armour. When assaultign a walker, you hit the front armour.....i think.

ok, thanks guys

Yes, vs a dread you always hit front armor. Why would you want to run wraith? As far as memory serves they aren't fleet, you can't do any other action if you turbo boost, and if you want to go above 12" why wouldn't you turbo-boost and get your 3+ cover?

nupe. you hit the armour facing you see.

walkers attack whats in front of them. unfair as it is, a walker can potentially be attacked from the rear. (you don't move the walker- ever.)

Captain, try reading the mentioned sections of the rules. You seem to be giving out something from another edition of the game.

Vehicles and assaults - pg 63 (yup, hits go against rear armor)
Walkers and assults - pg 73 (walkers fight as infantry, hits on them is on front armor)

Sorry, was too busy being a Millionaire Playboy Coconut Cat to answer!

But yeah, Wraiths are Infantry that only MOVE as Jetbikes, so they can run in the shooting phase if they wish.

Wrong. Walkers are always hit on their front armour in assault. Check the page numbers given further up
