Can a Thunderhawk Transporter pick up an enemy vehicle (considering if it would fit) and then dump it somewhere else, possible causing damage to the target vehicle?
Eg: A TT picks up a Chaos Land Raider and dumps it on the other side of the board.
Please no answers along the lines of "It's Apoc, work it out for yourself"
Thanks,

Ummm... I'm not familiar with this guy. Is it from a IA book?
I assume it's rules should be fairly clear in this point. Does it say it can transport enemies? If it does, then it can. If not, then it can't.

Units cannot embark in enemy vehicles; though the only rule I see that actually prevents it is the restriction of being within 1" of enemy models (when not assaulting) on page 11.
I am probably missing it.

Well it doesn't specify that the vehicle is embarking, it states that it is carrying the vehicle instead or something like that. Also it doesn't specify wherever it can or it cannot transport enemy ones.

Does it say it Can?
If not, then no.
My Land Raider doesn't have a rule allowing it to move 88" an hour, but that doesn't mean I can claim I can because it doesn't say otherwise.

88" an hour??? How long does a turn represent? 10 seconds? (a unit can only move about 3 or 4 times it's height in that time and pull the trigger of a gun once or twice) So, you want your Land Raider to move less than an inch a turn?
I'm ok with that!

Yes, it does.
"Transport: The thunderhawk transporter may carry two rhino sized vehicles or one land raider sized vehicle."
"Unloading vehicles: Vehicles can disembark from the transporter"
So, the vehicle is carried using the transport rules and "disembark" when you drop them off. They're embarked.

No rule that allows it, so no.

Even if it had such a rule, there's no Flux Capacitor upgrade so you're still SOL, GWAR!.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

I think this topic really needs the following reminder:
Remember that a Land Raider or Rhino which disembarks from a Thunderhawk Transport is not allowed to assault that turn.

I'm ok with that!
Me and a friend had a discussion about how long a game is relative to in-universe time. Given the small amount of area covered, a 6 turn game is roughly 15 minutes in-universe. doing the calculations backwards, the Raider would have to move at around 3-4 inches a turn to go 88 inches an hour soooo Gwar was right o.0

I think this is one of the few times that logic should kick in. I know it normally is not used for rules debates, but in this case it may help shine some light on the situation.

Even if your LR can move 88 inches an hour, it needs more Jiggawatts!
