I did a forum search and couldn't find a concrete ruling on this subject.

If I start a unit of scouts inside of a rhino purchased as a fast attack, can the vehicle make a Scout move even though it's not a Dedicated Transport?

The reason I ask is due to the wording under "Dedicated Transports" seems a tad ambiguous to me. In the 3rd paragraph:

"Other vehicles may also have a Transport Capacity, but they are chosen separately as normal, have a role and occupy a force organization chart slot of their own."

Does that line lump all vehicles with Transport Capacity in with all of the rules applications for Dedicated Transports, except for the matters on slot and role? I.E Obsec transfer and limitations to starting embarked during deployment.





"

The rules for dedicated transports clearly state what makes them dedicated transports. The line you're referring to is simply pointing out that other vehicles have a transport capacity but this does not make them dedicated transports.

The ability to make a scout move is granted to the unit with the rule, and a dedicated transport it is embarked upon, so no, this would not apply to a rhino taken as a fast attack choice.

And the Dunestrider special rule applies only to a unit with the rule. Being embarked on a transport does not make them the same unit.
