On page 63 of the basic rule book it states that there is no consolidation, pile in, defender react, etc.

My question is such: If a unit assaults, say a razorback, and blows it up does that mean they don't consolidate? I'm guessing yes, because...well it says so. But it never mentions if the vehicle is destroyed. I'd imagine this is splitting hairs but I've played several games against people in my LGS that are tenured players and I've never seen them do this. I play a mech angel list so this would help me a lot.

Second question, would this have any effect on vehicles with WS like dreadnoughts?

You cannot consolidate after blowing up a rhino,

You can after dreadnoughts.

You only consolidate after CC with enemy units that have WS.

Thank you both for your quick responses, just wanted to make sure!
