Hey all, I'm in the middle of a game atm and need to clarify how many models can shoot through the Rhino's 2 firing ports.
We have a feeling its only 2 per, but would like to make sure!

Unless specified otherwise, only a single model can fire from each fire point. The Chaos Rhino entry does not specify otherwise.

Actually, if you read the rules carefully, Chaos Rhino has only one firepoint that two models can fire out of. (C:CSM, page 54).

Actually it specifies quite clearly that two models are able to fire from the top hatch.

Could have sworn when I checked the codex it listed it as two firing points... Must have been the heat.
Either way. 1 firing point from which 2 models can fire... not 2 points for two models each, as suggested by the OP.

I think some of the confusion about the fire point stems from people assuming that the small circular hatches near the front of the rhino are the fire points, when it's really the large 2 door hatch near the rear of the rhino.
I have played a few people who were unaware of that.

The rule simply states "Top Hatch" There are usually two or three top hatches on the Rhino... As shown here:

And aside from in rules discussions online, it is pretty universally accepted that the 'top hatch' for the passengers to fire out of is the hatch over the passenger compartment, not the driver's cupola.

5th edition allowed two firers for fire point and 6th edition dropped that to 1 per fire point, unless otherwise stated, which Rhinos do.
That might have been where the confusion came from.

No, 5th edition did NOT allow 2 per fire point; the rhino has simply allowed that in the past and current codexes
