I'm just looking for some clarification here. I realize the codex is old and so language obviously doesn't quite jive with 6th, but I want to see what others think about this.

The Ork FAQ replaces the Ramshackle wording with: “If a Trukk suffers an Explodes result on the Vehicle Damage table or is Wrecked as a result of being reduced to 0 Hull Points, roll on the Ramshackle table below and apply the result instead of the usual effects”.

First, under Kerrunch! it states that "The Ork passengers take no damage but must immediately disembark." Is this disembark still reduced to the 3" maximum move under the normal wrecked results? Or do they make a normal disembark since the Ork Codex replaces the normal results?

Second, under Kaboom! it says that, after the explosion, "Surviving passengers must disembark..." So, do they go in the footprint of the vehicles like a normal explosion (this seems unlikely, as it specifically says they disembark)? Do they disembark 3"? 6"?

I never even though about that change

I've been disembarking 6" from krunch, and placing in crater from kareen and kaboom

I would assume that explosions still have you sit in the crater, but I am unsure on the 3" vs 6" bit

After the trukk explodes where would you disembark from?
It's been removed and replaced by a crater/etc.

You could easily measure from the Trukk before you remove it. It's also worth noting that the Kaboom! entry says nothing about placing a crater. So I'm not sure that you would.

This is how I do it

Not if you follow the rules.

Just saying it doesn't make sense RAW wise.

I guess I have a problem with the wording under Kaboom! It says the Trukk is destroyed (nothing about replacing it with a crater) and then it says they disembark (again, nothing about placing them in the footprint). So where do they disembark from?

Except youre leaving out the part where it says "The trukk explodes" then goes on to describe what happens. I dont think it takes an imagination to figure out the trukk isnt there anymore, it exploded. So measure from where it was. DashofPepper used to use felt outlines of trukks when they blew up, and placed the boyz inside that piece of felt and continued on.


I really dont see where the problem is.

I wasn't trying to say that the Trukk stays as wreckage after a Kaboom! results; I agree that's pretty clear. I'm just getting tripped up on where it says they disembark after it explodes. That implies some movement to me, but it sounds like I'm just reading into too much and most people just place the passengers in the spot where the Trukk used to be (or where it landed after Kareen!).

The faq provides an answer:

Q: If I roll a Kaboom! result on the Ramshackle table, is the Trukk
removed and replaced with a similar sized area of difficult terrain after
any surviving passengers have disembarked? (p41)
A: Yes.

So based on this the order is:

1) Disembark
2) Then replace it with a crater or some such

So based on this you neither must nor can place the orks in the wreckage.

As for distance, since these rules say they replace the 'normal effects' then the term disembark would default to the regular disembark rule, which is deploy within 6". Admittedly not the most intuitive result.

If someone wanted to play the more intuitive way (place in a crater, disembark 3" for wrecks) that wouldn't bother me.

*Hands head in shame* I swear I scoured the FAQ for the answer to this but I apparently totally missed that entry. Thank you for pointing it out!

for the most part i prefer to sit in the crater when it initially blows up. That way i get a 5+ coversave atleast, if i move 6" then i would be mostly out of the crater (unless i was near a wall).

My friends and i always play if it explodes they sit in the crater anyway. Logically they would be sent in random directions, so rather than dealing with that and unit coherancy we just said they dont move.
