Hey guys, just some questions on how Bikes and Turbo-Boosting works.

1. So, lets say I have a Nob on a bike, if he doesn't move, can he fire both the weapon hes holding AND the guns on the bike?

2. If he moves his 12 inches, he can still fire but only one of those weapons correct?

3. Turbo-Boosting just lets you move double of your maximum speed, which is 24?

Sorry, not really sure how to ask these questions. Basically just wondering how far I can move, and what I can shoot under certain circumstances.

1) only one weapon, moving or not.

2) still only one weapon, even at the full 12"

3) turbo boosting is a bikes "run" move which is done in the shooting phase. So no shooting. And yes I believe its 12", dont have the BRB with me right now to confirm

Gotcha, so in many cases, getting an upgraded weapon on Ork Bikers is normally not needed, since Twin Linked Dakkaguns normally get the job done and seem to be more effective than anything they can really take.

If the upgraded weapon has a longer range than the dakkaguns, it's useful to extend the kill-range of the unit he might be part of.
But, unless the bike is a twin-seater, you can only fire 1 gun per model.

Turbo-boost is a set value, usually the same as the move range, but not always. It takes the place of shooting for that turn.

Make sure you know what extra rules bikes get, such as Relentless, etc.

Noob here, can someone explain to me how Ork bikes work?

I'd probably say about 1/3 due to a design similar to many modern sports bike, and the rest the Ork's warp thing that makes broken things work.

Bikes can fire 1 ranged weapon per rider on the bike. So technically speaking if you mount Gretchin and other orks also seated on the bike you can fire more guns but don't expect a lot of games if you try to do this.

Turbo-boost is performed in the shooting phase in lieu of shooting all ranged weapons and it is 12" which is should tell you in the BRB.
