My fellow gamerz n I have been trying to figure this one out, so I thought I would ask you all
The question is: Do Bikes (and Jetbikes) class as vehicles in regards to equiping them with weapons with the "gets Hot" rule?
Vehicles with these types of weapons dont suffer from the disadvantages of "Gets Hot", so we need to know if that can carry over to bikes (and jetbikes)?!?!

Dunno if this has been asked in the past, so thanx for taking the time with this!
We await your replies!

No, they have saves and thus need to take gets hot checks.

They're basically just speedy infantry.

What he said.

If it hasn't got an armour value (three, in fact) it's not a vehicle.

Bikes and Jetbikes, however, can move and fire a heavy weapon, which is a big plus over infantry.

Moving to YMDC.

And no, bike are not vehicles. Haven't been since 2nd edition.

Yes, they still suffer from Gets Hot!, as they are not vehicles.

Thanx for the clarification all!

Back to the Waaagh!
