If for example, a unit of ten kabalite warriors with a dark lance wanted to fire out of a raider that has moved at cruising speed and has fired its own dark lance, can all of the kabalites fire?

Nope...

The non-DL passengers can shoot only when skimmer moves combat speed.

The Kabalite wielding DL is a heavy weapon, so it can only move or fire.

Check the last paragraph of the 'Fire Points' rules on page 66.

Models count as moving if the vehicle did, and may not shoot if the vehicle moved at Cruising speed.

Thanks didnt notice that when i was reading it cheers

YAY this makes my life slightly easier

Probably one of the dumbest things in 40k, along with buildings being vehicles and suddenly guys being immune to small arms fire. I once had an entire grey knight infantry army killed by 1 armor 11 vehicle loaded with shoota boyz. +1 damage table rolls does not help when basic troops never penetrate.

So, you didnt buy psycannons for your troops then?

Probably used psilencers or incinerators.

You took a whole army with no weapons over S4? And you couldn't assault the vehicle? (bearing in mind that if it was shooting then it was only moving 6") Or shoot it in the rear armour?

So let me get this straight; m40K suck because you opted to field an army that had no ability to damage av11, and you maneuvered it in such a way to never have a shot on AV10 side or rear, nor be able to assault the tank?

One final question: how exactly does 12 Shootas in a single Looted Wagon kill an "Entire grey Knights infantry army"; did they roll a 6 every time they threw the dice and you rolled 1s when you threw them? Statistically it would take 10 Shootas, 1 Big Shoota and 1 Slugga 9 game turns to kill an "army" PA GK, that does not include the HQ.

Sorry dude I think your alone on that. Transports should be immune to small arms fire. That's kinda the point of transports.

And, even more amusingly, from erikwfg's profile
" I have a feeling i'll be the best rules person for the 40k section. I should be a game designer, and unofficially, I am."

And this gem
"At one point I had more models in my armies than a GW store carries at once."

Classic

better at proposed rules subforum I think...

He's certainly got the longest profile around...

No doubt some of it's BS.

Not our finest hour, guys.
