Hey all!
So I was digging through my BRB and didn't see much in the way of how these weapons affect the passengers of said open topped vehicles, so I wanted to find out from the powers that be.

Example: if I have a squad of Burnas hitting a Raider full of DE Kabalite Warriors, do they as well as the transport get hit? Does that work the same with blast/large blasts as well?

What's the word Dakka?
Thanks!
T-

Open topped are treated as any other transport but with the open topped rule.

Long answer short, no they do not.

You can never target the unit inside while they are embarked, no matter what weapon you shoot at them. You have to blow it up first, or convince them to get out of their own accord. Until then, they can't be harmed.

This. On the plus side, blowing them up isn't exactly hard to do.

Sneeze, on the other side of the battlefield.

Seriously...

DE vehicles are made out of fast-moving designer tinfoil

Which is why the Dark Eldar have Fleet - they're usually walking home from any battle.

As for the question, the correct answers are already there. If the rulebook doesn't say how to hit the passengers in an Opentopped transport then you can't.
