The hull is defined as any part of that model or its base if it has one. Models can overhang the edge of the battlefield as long as the models base or hull is wholly on the battlefield. If any part of the model or its base has to be wholly on the battlefield it cannot overhang the edge of battlefield. Can anyone please explain to me how this is meant ?

Q: Can models overhang the edge of the battlefield?
A: Yes, as long as the model’s base or hull (see ‘Hull’ in the Rules Commentary) is wholly on the battlefield.

Hull: When measuring to and from VEHICLES (excluding WALKER models that have a base) and models that do not have a base, measure to and from the hull, which means any part of that model (or its base, if it has one) that is closest to the point being measured from or to. Note that this may not correspond literally with the area on a vehicle usually termed the hull (see VEHICLES WITH BASES).

For vehicle/monster without base if it cross the edge with any parts it's mean it's crossed the edge. There example with Valkyrie.
If model have base, even if any of it's parts outside the edge, while base don't cross the edge model don't cross the edge

Thank you. What i dont understand is how a model without a base can overhang the edge of the battlefield, but only if its hull (which is any part of the model) is wholly on the battlefield.

There's a stupid GW wording they just made comment for both based and models without base. Since ANY part of model without base is a hull(looks like even antennas or guns also is part of hull), once ANY part of model cross edge it's count model cross edge.

Yeah it's probably an oversight on GW's part.

Traditionally the "hull" didn't include things like gun barrels or flags; that's why it was called "the hull" and not just "the model". So a Russ could have the tip of its battlecannon overhanging as long as the treads were on the table. Now it seems they've removed that but are for some reason calling the entire model "the hull" (which is not what that word means..).

So the rule has confusing phrasing because it's a holdover from the old version.

So the question remains unanswered, can a model without a base overhang the edge of the battlefield or not ?

The only answer I have is from a very specific tourney and a specific model.

My opponent had one of the giant Ork Stompas and he was told by a judge that it's arms could not hang off the table edge.

That's all I can tell you all my Knights have bases.

Hull description mean that with current rules and commentary model without base can't overhang table's edge
