Nights Scythe- do passengers take S 10 when it explodes?

Meaning they take s 10 hits and THEN go into reserves or they just go in reserves and no hits are taken?

There are 2 camps.

One says no as instead of what normally happens you go into reserves.

The other says yes because you go into reserves instead of disembarking (which would happen after the hit).

But you all now RAI but are just trying cheese.

Well after RAW -thay say if you can not disembark you count as destroyed. And you if go in reserves you can not disembark . So you are dead.

One could argue that. but I thinck we all now RAI

I'm not sure I understand what you're referring to as RAW and what as RAI.

I don't believe this has been FAQ-ed yet, so as of the moment? There are arguments for and against, and a general consensus has 'not' been reached incontrovertably indicating one way or the other. I am interested however in wether or not any new arguments for each side will be brought forth for this question.

I doubt there will be any new arguments, no relevant rules have changed since it was last debated here.

a friend of mine who plays crons and i have kept going back to this argument trying to see a way the rules prevent them from taking the s10 hit. although the codex says they do not disembark, but go into reserve, it does not say "instead of normal rules when destroyed, they enter reserve".

please quote a rule explaining how they get around the s10 hit

I don't think the relevent rules have changed much at all since this thread either. *sigh*

However for those of you who need it spelled out for you and refuse to use things written in the codex's (fluff), when they finally do get around to an FAQ you will see they go into reserves without the str 10 hit.

I personally think the rule in the codex says if wrecked or destroyed they go into reserves. The BRB answers the questions for all other transport flyers that do NOT have a codex rule covering this. The haters will always hate the codex no matter what. NEXT up Chaos Marines....

We play the S10 hits as part of the disembark from the crash so no since they do not disembark they do not take S10 hits.

Since the last thread that has been linked was rather exhaustive and both camps made their point very well--going to go ahead and lock this one.
