Hey I am building a Knights of Blood (BA Codex) army and was wondering if I put a sanguinary priest inside of a transport does the FNP bubble extend all around the hull out to 6"?

**Davall**

Yes it does. Measure from the hull.

**Dannygee**

priest + raven = win
dont forget the wings!

ok that was my thought i was just double checking so I wasnt learning the rules wrong.

**cgage00**

Hull not wings. You should never try to stretch the rule that isn't cool.

I agree with that one. Wings are more cosmetic like wings and banners on special characters. so to shoot the stormraven you would then have to be within range of the hull if i understand corectly.

**Davall**

Not to sound rude, but you would be wrong about the wings.

BRB FAQ says:
Q: Are a vehicle’s wings considered to be part of its
hull? (p60)
A: Yes.

Wrong. The wings ARE hull. If you belive them to be decorative, i suggest you go elsewhere....

Page 66, measuring to embarked units

Personally I wish they weren't part of the Hull, however as stated multiple times as the FAQ has even clarified wings are Hull

If you believe the wings to be decorative, try taking off with just one.

Only if you let me fly it in a Circular motion

Not that great as you still measure from the hull so you actually have a smaller FnP footprint than if you were in a rhino/razor/raider.

? the Raven foot print is huge, I'm fairly certain it's larger than the Rhinos even when measuring from hull to unit.

Wing-Wing Front-Back alot of space there and the thing is a large flying cinderblock not like it's sleek

I think he is talking about the ramifications of measuring vertically down to a unit.

I was taking that into consideration, gotta find someone that actually has one now so I can do some measurements ...

**Happyjew**

Wouldn't you measure from the oval base? I though that all measurements for skimmers (except shooting) was measured from the base.

Nope, it's measured from the Hull.

**Happyjew**

My bad, mis-read that. Base is only used for assaults.

The only thing you normally use the base for on a skimmer is assaulting it. For all other game purposes, the base is ignored. This is covered explicitly in the skimmer rules.

The Valkyrie and Storm Raven have an exception to this rule, that allows you to measure dis/embarkation distance and distance to/from objectives to the base. For anything else, the base would still be ignored as per the normal skimmer rules.

Was thinking this right here. Forgot how wide those suckers were with the wings so probably about similar FnP bubble as a landraider....maybe a bit smaller.
