Soo the scout move..in the case of a landspeeder storm do i get a 12* scout move? also... turbo boost? same goes for scout bikers
and Scouts with snipers/hvy weapons, after taking the scout move but remaining still in the movement phase can i shoot my hvy weps?

You can move at any speed you usually can in a movement phase, so yes.
Movement in the scout move does NOT count as movement for any purposes - firing a heavy weapon, for example.

sooo a landspeeder storm could do a scout move of 12* then another 12* in the movement phase scouts can disembark and assault 6* + 2* from disembark?
sick of my kamekazi dreadnoughts^^ so want to take out my arch nemesis rhinos round 1 , send 2 landspeeders storms with MM and the seargent haveing a combi melta, if the LS can take out the tank the scouts can assault, if not, they get a crak at it with the combi MG if that fail aswell they assault and slap granedas on it,

Sry for bad spelling, dont have time for spellchek :p playing 2morrow so im writing my list atm ^^

If it's fast it can go flat out in the scout move @ 18".
I don't know if it's an assault vehicle though so may not be able to disembark and assault from it.
Nope, it's not an assault vehicle. So you can't move 12" (in your normal movement phase, scout move isn't affected by this) and disembark/assault.

Its open topped, sooo ?

Yes, you can assault out of it.

Fast Skimmer. You can Scout 24" with the Land Speeder Storm, then let the Scouts disembark after a 12" move. It's open-topped so you can assault afterwards; the Assault Vehicle rule allows you to assault after disembarking from a non-Open-Topped vehicle.

You've just stumbled one one of the reasons the Dark Eldar are so powerful: absurdly long assault moves (12" vehicle move, 2" disembark, d6" run, 6" charge).

The 'move as far as you could in a normal movement phase' rule has saved my hide on more than one occasion Scouting with Ravenwing Bikes at Turbo-Boost speed to bring Deathwing Terminators in where they're most needed...

Scout move is not related in and way, shape, form, idea, rule, related to the movement phase. So if you have scouts w/ heavy weapons they take the scout move then your whole army moves on as normal and your scouts can fire the heavy weapons.

i see... so scout bikers CAN turbo boost as scout move? gr8 way to run inn the Locator Beacon!

My m8 said no way you can Turbo boost as scout move

Your 'm8' is wrong.

Q: Can bikes Turbo Boost during their Scout move?
(p76)
A: Yes they now can, but remember that they have to
remain more than 12” away from the enemy as they
move.

Would that also mean a Landspeeder storm can Turboboost and move as normal in the movment phase? :O

I guess so yeah, precedent has been set by them allowing it with the bikes - it'd be stupid for them to deny the same rule to another unit, just because it doesn't have wheels!

Same USR, same effect

cool, dont se this beeing a good overall tactic (exsept maybe to homerun a locator beacon)

but sure will lead to some fun matches in my LGC ^^ Cheers for the answers guys ;D had a hunch i could do it, but our *Ceeper of the scrolls* (aka guy who suposedly know all the rules ) said No way! ^^

tho, where did you find whatever it was that said scout bikers could do this ?

I believe the only exception to this would be if it's specifically stated that they can't turboboost during the scout move, as I believe Ravenwing bikes are in the Dark Angels codex.

Only bikes and jet bikes can turbo boost. You mean flat out.
