I haven't been able to find any answers in the main rule book or Ork FAQ and I'm hoping someone else sees something I'm missing. I haven't yet found any rules regarding wargear or special rules with 'area' effects and how they are handled with embarked passengers.

If a Big Mek with a Kustom Force Field is embarked on a transport, is the KFF effect still measured from the hull of the vehicle outward (like in 5th edition) or does it only protect the vehicle and passengers (much like some psychic powers now)? Or something else entirely?

its still the same, only that the KFF is a 5+ for vehicles and not a 4+ is the only change.

Where does it say it's still the same? I don't see where it says embarked passengers measure special rule area effects from the hull; in fact I can't find anything regarding special rule ranges and embarked passengers (psychic powers not withstanding).

You still have the same rule about measuring to or from embarked models; blanket permission to do it for any reason.

Okay, I'll check the rulebook again later today; thank you! Is that 'to/from vehicle' section in the Transports section?
