I was wondering if could fire with lootas while they're on a moving Skullhamma Battlefortress

I know that on a regular open-topped wagon/truk they can fire only if moving 6ps or less but what about on a super heavy?

1) Loota fire heavy weapons, therefroe if you move the vehicle the embarked unit ALSO count as moving and therefore cannot fire Heavy weapons (unless they have aspecial rule, which they dont)

So you *cannot* fire lootas on a moving vehicle

2) Superheavy vehicles can fire all their weapons while moving, however they dont "count as not moving" meaning the unit embarked *still* count as having moved so, yet again, Lootas cannot shoot if the superheavy moves.

As nosferatu says - just because the vehicle has special rules related to weapons fire doesn't mean they extend to embarked squads of infantry. Same goes for the 6'' rule there - just because Fast vehicles can still shoot after going 12'' doesn't mean it applies to passengers. The vehicle would need an entry saying passengers get the benefit too.

Just to confirm Nos's assertion that lootas cannot fire out of a moving trukk or wagon, opentopped or not.

P29, Heavy weapons: "If a unit moves then it cannot shoot heavy weapons"

P66, Transport Vehicles: "Models firing from a vehicle count as moving if the vehicle moves"

thanks for the answers, that confirms what i was affraid of

I guess i'll have to find them good cover then

Ya, I really wish it worked that way.
