When it comes to transports is the max capacity 10 no matter what. Like with a Drop Pod you can only take 10 Marines or can you take Guardsmen dunno, or can you take more troops in different vehicles. I really don't know as read stuff on it and got confused.

You know Warhammer is getting to real when you being using 40K swears, for example "fug" and "Emperors Hairy Arse!" When writing this the word arse was not recognized, well done.

What is your question?

If it is "What is a transports capacity" then it depends on the transport.

Land Raider Redeemers are usually 12, drop pods have their own transport capacity listed in their entry in whatever codex you are using.

All vehicles that can transport models will have an entry for transport capacity in thier respective codexes.

Each transport has it's capacity listed under it's codex entry.
Don't forget to factor rules in such as Bulky, Very bulky, Super duper bulky, and Better to Ship UPS Ground.

Ahh thanks. That's what confused me, just I've seen vehicles having different number of models in them, looks like time to grab a codex.

You're high on Hydrogen Dioxide? That explains it all.

When looking at capacities, certain vehicles have different capacities depending on your codex.
It was hinted above, but the vanilla Rhino and Drop Pod allow 12, but other codices restrict it to 10.

Lots of vehicles specify whether they can transport Bulky (if it doesn't say, check the FAQ), but I don't know of any that carry Very Bulky (bikes). Forge World-only, maybe.

Then what is the other half?

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Greatest continuation ever, on the topic on night scythes can they transport Flayed ones guy I know did it and it was debated but they wanted to play with no codex (Like me ) so no one knew.

How do you play without a codex?

"I put this Land Raider into reserves"
"Can you do that?"
"I dunno."
"How many points is it? Looks expensive for a 500 point game."
"I dunno"
"What weapons does it have?"
"Two twin-linked railguns and sponson mounted power fists."

I'm expecting an Imperial Knights supplement dedicated to GW's loyalist apologetics. Codex: White Knights "In the grim dark future, everything is fine."

"The argument is that we have to do this or we will, bit by bit,
lose everything that we hold dear, everything that keeps the business going. Our crops will wither, our children will die piteous
deaths and the sun will be swept from the sky."

They knew the points and weapons etc.. they wanted to see if they could play a match without a codex, trying to remember all the special rules and such it was funny to watch. Can't remember the actual reason, I can confirm that mounted power fists may be awesome but no, nothing like that.

The Night Scythe has no limiting rules on what it can carry (unlike the Ghost Ark). So the Flayed Ones, who are Infantry, are no problem to transport.

However, they cannot buy a NS as a dedicated transport, so they will have to embark on the table.

I love that the nightscythe is straight out of stargate atlantis, that was a really cool way of dropping/picking up troops. They also needed the FAQ for pickup cos the flyer wasn't a great transport really without that.

Actually, NS was a great flyer before that FAQ. Now it is extremely good and underpriced one.
