Very new player here. Brought into the Grim Future by a friend and still not in possession of my own copy of the rules.

The question...?

Just how far can my ork wartrukk move and disembark its boyz and still assault?

I poked around a bit but never found a clear breakdown on this. But I have seen some varied boasts on just how far someone can move and still get stuck in with their choppas!

Thx in advance for helping the noob.

Not an Ork player but here is my best guess, could be wrong and I will defer to greater minds.
I think is 26"
trukk move 12"
deployment of or orks up to 2"
ork move 6"
ork assault 6"
plus you could get another 6" if you declare a Waaugh (giving you fleet for the turn).

But as I said, this is my best guess, others will tell you for sure.

Being fast doesn't effect how far you can move and still disembark.

All vehicles can move at Cruising speed and still disembark. But if you move Flat Out, you cannot disembark.

Open Topped means that you can assault the turn you disembark, even if the transport already moved.


Additionally, MudgeBlack's analysis is flawed. You may NOT move after disembarking from a transport that has already moved that turn.

You can move 12" with a trukk and still disembark due to the "fast" rule. You may then disembark the boyz 2" from any part of the hull. Then you may not move your boyz any more in the movment phase but, thanks to open topped can still assault 6". do this on a waaaaaagh turn however and you can run in the shooting phase! up to another 6" there.

To sum up: you can definatly assault a unit 20" away and may even get 26" if you have declared a waaaagh that turn and rolled a 6.

Deadly.

You can't move after disembarking from a vehicle that's moved.

Your vehicle can move up to 18" but you can only get out after moving 12" or less so 12" for the vehicle.
Then you have to be within 2" of the vehicle as you disembark but only a sliver of the base needs to be within 2" so that gets you 2.5".
Then you can run for D6" more - this would normally stop you from assaulting but if you declare a waaagh then you can still assault. If Ghazzie declares the waagh then you get an automatic 6.
Assault move of 6".

That's a maximum of 26.5".

Excellent, question is answered. Thx all.

As Grakmar said; Mudgeblack was wrong- a unit cannot move in the movement phase after disembarking from a transport if that transport has already moved this turn. They can still Run, however, and if it's open-topped or has the Assault Vehicle rule (Land Raider, Storm Raven), they can still assault.

The vehicle can move, the guys can get out and assault. Remember that if you Waaagh your Ork Infantry can Run AND assault that turn as well.

One thing that trips some people up is remembering that your base width adds distance; per "Measuring Distances" on page 3 and the Disembarking rules & diagram on page 67, you measure disembarkation distance to ANY PART of the disembarking model's base, not to the whole base. So you can add its' whole width in distance.

So the total distance is:
Trukk moves 12" (or 13" if it has Red Paint Job): 12"/13" total so far.
Unit disembarks 2", gaining ~3" from 25mm base width: 15"/16" total so far.
WAAAAGH!
Run d6"; average 3.5". 16"-22" total so far, average of 18.5/19.5" so far.
Assault 6. 22"-28" total, or an average of 24.5" without red paint, or 25.5" with it.

One of the really nasty things about Ghazkull is that his Waaagh is automatically 6" for the whole army.
