How many troops can fire from a firing point in a rhino or immolater? I thought it was 1 but my mate said its 2 and shot me with loads of meltas. Can you shoot any weapon from one even a heavy or just normal weapons?

How many models can fire depends on the vehicle. Each vehicle with a Fire Point tells you how many there are, unless they are open topped, then they follow their own tules in the Main Rulebook.

And yes, you can fire any weapon you want from it, so long as you are able to fire it (i.e. you didn't move before shooting a heavy weapon).

The CSM FAQ says the chaos rhino has 2 firing points (the codex said one) - so it's 2 for them.

Check the SM codex, my guess is it's probably the same.

Ok cool I was told you cant use heavy weapons from them. Out of interest do you know how many can fire from a Rhino and Immolater?

Yes, I do.

It's found in the codex!

I love you.

In a manly way, of course.

Its no good if its a codex I dont own and they dont have with them though.

If that's the case, how are you playing with that army?

Either you have the army, so you have the codex, or your opponent does, where he can show you the relevant rule. If your opponent is playing an army he doesn't have the codex for, you have slightly bigger problems than how many fire points an Immolator has!

Had it on pdf and not with us and I generally trust my mates not too cheat to badly. I have codex for what I use but they have a lot more experience than me as im just getting back into it.

Well heres tip #1 for getting back into the hobby. Never play someone that doesnt "have their codex" You cant be sure with out the rules there.

Also check the most recent FAQs for the latest on the number of models that can fire out of the vehicles fire points. In particular, the Witchhunter Rhinos in the codex state 1, while the FAQ changes to 2.

Big +1 on that - no matter how much someone tells you that they've memorised their codex there's always something that needs to be looked up.

Or they're just a cheating swine.
