So what does everyone think of a slight change to the 40K scoring rules?

A scoring unit does not make a transport scoring. Instead they must disembark to claim an objective.


The idea is to stop people from hiding in their transports (I know I do it too) all game and have to put their troops out on the table eventually.

Well... I put tacos, since the enemy infantry can't hide long in their metal boxes against me.

Haha, good point.

But I like the change, it seems rigged. Especially if its a lower points game, because then you have a major advantage most often.

Actually... what if only troops inside Dedicated transports can do this?
(no LR tactica)

Some units can take a Land Raider as a dedicated transport IIRC.

Correct Jefffar, Blood Angels people can take them ¬¬...

Also, i feel this will majorly screw some armies up.

Dark Eldar Would be one of them as i like to camp a 5 man wrack unit in a venom so as to zoom onto an objective to claim, or to just sit at home and keep my own .

Oh yeah... I had forgotten about the BA

I put tacos, because well, I like tacos.

Tacos? Where?

It is easier to destroy a single vehicle than a large unit.


Tacos.

I'm going Tacos.
You've all also forgotten BT LRC Spam. Literally every foot-slogging unit in the dex can take a LRC as a DT. Not sure if that throws a huge wrench in things, just pointing it out.

It also won't make a huge difference, as with random game length, you won't have to really worry about Claiming till turn 5.

What about only measuring the distance for claiming objectives from an access point, and then only if the vehicle doesn't move in the previous movement phase? That's probably a little too complicated, but it means that you'd have to bail out of the transport to claim immediately, or hang around for a full turn while everything in the opposing army opens up on you.

Just my 2 cents, feel free to poke holes in it.
