Hello folks! I'm fairly new to warhammer 40k and I've just completed my 2000pt Ork army. I just had a question about the distances and rules regarding assaults. Rather then fail to explain i will provide an example. I use Ghaz as my HQ in which gives me his special Waaagh!. How does the Waaagh! effect my units when in a transport? For instance Turn 2 for myself (ork) I declare the Waaagh! so then I move lets say 16boyz in a Battle wagon (open-topped) 12" up the field and then disembark up to 2" away from the model. Can I then RUN those units 6" and then Assault up to 6" to reach the enemy? Perhaps if this is incorrect can someone explain further? Thanks in advance.

Indeed you can disembark, run, and then assault out of a battle wagon.

As long as waagh gives you fleet, yes.

that's the point of the waaagh. it gives orks fleet lol

Thanks for the speedy reply

Just make sure when you try to assault that its an open topped vehicle(for orks your pretty much covered with that one) or that it has something allowing you to assault after being transported in a vehicle.

If you're using Ghazghkull, all Ork infantry get an automatic 6" Run move when you call the Waaagh!

Apologies, I've only played against Ghaz a few times and I've only read the rules for normal Waaaagh and taken the info on Ghaz's as what the player says it does (typically the invulnerable save bit against all my sexy nemesis weapons )
