Looking for some written prove for this, I can’t find it in any FAQ or I am missing it.

Deffkoptas can do turbo boost during scout move.

Yes they can. See BRB FAQ which allows turboboosting in the scout move.

Always thought that was a dumb ruling on GWs part. If the scout move is designed to allow you to stealthily move forward for better observation, how do you do that with a Bike moving at top speed?

Thems the breaks I guess.

GW fluff =/= game rules

Woah woah woah, are you saying that deffkoptas are not stealthy?

But yes, turbo boost during the scout move to be UNSHOOTABLE!! Orks logik is best logik.

They are Orks, because they don't get killed(because of the 3+ cover save) they may think they are being stealthy.

Da ground ain't rumblin so nobody will feel us gettin closer.

Maybe if it's red enough, it'll go so fast nobody can see it.

That extra inch moves him right into their blindspots

By fluff, deff koptaz draw huge trails of black smoke behind them and make enough noise to deafen people getting to close. It really doesn't matter if they turbo-boost in addition to that.

I was saying I think being able to turbo in the scout move as a whole is dumb rule period. Doesn't matter if it is a Deffcopta or whatever. Granted I've taken advantage of that rule with mine a time or two with my Deffcoptas. But that is for another thread not one about the actual rule itself.

My point is, scout has nothing to do with "stealthy". Stealthy scouting is just one of many ways to do it.

Yes, they can.

As scary as it it, yes. As can all skimmers/jetbikes with scout move. What my friend does is stores Tycho attached to a squadand another thing(dreadnought, etc,) scout turboes them in with scout move and wreaks havoc. Until my turn.

yes it is legal.

and not only that but it is orky... you think an ork wants to wait to get in somethings's face and throw its buzzsaw at it? heck no, they just wanna get in to krump stuff asap

The Scouts rule says nothing about it supposedly representing stealthy movement. It simply represents the unit moving ahead of the rest of the army.

Absolutely...

If you have first turn... put out 3 Green Barons (TL-Rokkits and Buzzsaw) for probable first turn assaults.
If you have 2nd turn... I'd still turbo for the 3+ cover saves... if nothing else, they're effective distraction units and the rest of your forces move up almost unmolested.

I recently played at a GT tourny, and TWICE I played against dual-vindicator list... I got first turn... then, on their turn... the vindies were GONE!

'ang on. Iv we moves dey will see uz! '

*whap*

'Nah... at da speed dis fing moves Nuffing going t see uz. Hear uz, yeah, specially if yer keeps yellin Waaaagh, Doplah!'

Turbostriking Deffkoptas are Da Bomb (pun intended..)
