So this past weekend i was watching a game at my LGS between a DE player and GK. The DE player was using venoms with wytches. An argument arose about how far a venom can move and the unit disembark.

Now in 5th I know the vehicle could move 12, disembark 3, fleet up to 6 and then assault 6. For a possible 27 inch threat.

The DE player along with 2 other people in the shop stated it is now:

Move 12, disembark 6, assault 2d6 with a reroll (Fleet)

The GK play said that if you move the vehicle over 6 they cant disembark, no exceptions.

On the DE they were arguing their side because the Venom is a fast open-topped skimmer.

I have gone though the rule book quite a bit and IMO it looks like the GK player was correct, however I would like some clarification on that just to make sure, because everyone else were arguing the other side.

Thanks

GK player is right: move 6" disembark 6" charge 2D6"

Why did you think we DE players went all doom and gloom for?! Sheesh!!

6" max on moving the vehicle and disembarking.
The open topped means they count as an assault vehicle.
So the total is
12" plus 2d6.

As others have said 6" with disembark up to 6" from the haul + 2D6 assault with fleet reroll. While it sucks, the DE should be happy they as least have assault vehicles. Poor eldar assault units have to move 6", disembark, wait a turn then move + assault... By that point banshees or scorps no longer exist.
