This came up between my friend and I the other day. Can you assault out of a vehicle the same turn it has moved (or at all)? For instance, if I move my trukk 6 inches, can the nobz inside assault out of the vehicle to a nearby enemy? Thanks! Any page references would be greatly appreciated

You can assault out of a moving vehicle as long as it A. didn't move flat out and B. it is either open-topped or an assault vehicle. So the nobz can assault out of the trukk if it moved 6, up to 12 (13 with red paint job).

Movement has no bearing on whether or not an embarked unit can assault out of a transport. See Pg70 - Open Topped Transport Vehicles section

Disarray - entirely incorrect, if the vehicle isnt either open topped or Assault.

If it is close topped, non assault, a unit cannot assault out of it if it moves, but can if it remained stationary.

Nos is correct.A unit that disembarked from a vehicle that moved (or moved more than an inch,in this case of RPJ)cannot assault unless it was in an opentopped vehicle,or it had a rule,like assault vehicle.

Actually it does. If a vehicle doesn't move, a unit can disembark and charge regardless of the vehicle type.

Edit: Was in response to Disarray.

That is what I just said.

I wonder if this is what the OP is really asking about.

Perhaps he is talking about a unit that did not disembark during the Movement Phase, assaulting in the Assault Phase, ie "assault out of a vehicle".

In which case the answer of course is; no, this is not allowed.

Just wondering.

A) My answer does not take away from your response.
B) I specified that it was in response to Disarray through an edit, so others will not think I'm addressing you.
C) The wonderful world of the Internet results in pages being loaded, real life occuring, and a poster responding to what appears to be the last post, despite several minutes (or, in our case, 23 seconds) passing by.

I felt I had it up until this post. So if my unit is still in the vehicle as of the assault phase they cannot assault out of the vehicle?

That is correct.

Ok, but the unit is allowed to disembark after the vehicle has moved, and then assault during the assault phase, later that turn?

Only if it is an open-topped or assault vehicle.

Ok thanks. Just wanted to be clear

During the movement phase - that is the ONLY time you can embark or disembark from a vehicle (voluntarily, at least!)

... as long as the vehicle is Open Topped or has the Assault Vehicle rule, or another rule that does the same thing. So "no" if your vehicle has 'ard case, for example, as that makes the vehicle close topped.

This got dug up for Land Speeder storms and scouts.

So:
If the open-topped vehicle moved, they can disembark but not move, and assault in the assault phase.
If it doesn't move, they can disembark, move, and then assualt later in the turn.

This is for any open-topped, and for assault vehicles?

That would be correct.

And if it doesn't move, it works for any vehicle.

You can assault from any vehicle? I'm not sure that's how it works.
I know you can move away from the vehicle when it's stopped, but not assault from a closed-topped, I thought.

If at the beginning of your turn, you disembark from a rhino (for example) before it moves, you may then assault during the assault phase.

Page 67 main rulebook second bullet point under disembarking says that if the vehicle doesn't move the passengers may disembark, may move normally, may shoot but count as moving, and may assault.

It's only if the vehicle moved first that passengers disembarking from a closed topped transport that is not as assault vehicle may not assault.

And Because the OP asked nicely. Pg67 BRB top left, Disembarking. ( For any vehicle)

And for your ork trukks, Pg70 BRB top left. (Open-topped)

EDIT: darn, ninja'd while looking up the pg's :p
