Hey all thinking of fielding a unit of these nutjobs i know they are terrible but the idea of tankhammers is hilairious anyway i have a few questions about glory hogs

1. If they are in a trukk and it moves over 18 inch does that negate glory hogs?
2. If they destroy a transport in the shooting phase can they charge the unit inside or do they have to charge a vehicle
3. Do walkers count as vehicles for the sake of glory hogs ?

Much love

1. I'd say so, even if it's not in the spirit of the rule. Fine by RAW to me.
2. Yes, as rokkits are assault weapons.
3. Yes. Walkers are still vehicles.

Glory Hogs doesn't give them permission to shoot when they would not normally be able to do so. So yes, if they are on a transport that moves more than 6" they are not required to shoot at an enemy vehicle. because they can't shoot at all.

2. If they destroy a transport in the shooting phase can they charge the unit inside or do they have to charge a vehicle

If there is vehicle in sight, they can not assault anything else. Covered (ish) by the FAQ:

enemy unit that is not a vehicle (e.g. within 1"), but
there is a vehicle obviously out of assault range (e.g.
more than 24" away), can the Tankbustas assault the
non-vehicle unit? (p42)
A. No, they must still attempt to assault the vehicle and
will therefore not move in that Assault phase.

3. Do walkers count as vehicles for the sake of glory hogs ?

Walkers are vehicles, so yes, they would count as vehicles for Glory Hogs.

But i thought if you destroyed a transport you can only asssult the unit that was inside. So glory hogs negates this ?
For example the bustas pop a chimera in the shooting phase the imperials jump out now the bustas are in assault range however there is a leman russ in line of sight do they charge the russ regardless or do they charge the imperials because they shot at them in the shooting phase

No, it doesn't negate that..

They charge nothing in that example. They can't charge the infantry, because there is a tank in LOS. And they can't charge the Leman Russ, because they shot at a different unit.

Right o cheers

If you yourself have some large vehicles like a BW you could use it to block los to vehicles you want to ignore, preventing them from getting all distracted over big shinnys.

I was thinking that put em in a trukk drive em where i wanna be then use the trukk to block LOS
