What would happen if a Mawloc deepstrikes on a transport and destroys it?

If it gets destroyd on the first blast do the models inside take place in the crater thenn take the second hit?
Or does the mawloc get put down first meaning the passengers cannot deploy and be destroyd?

Same qeustion if its the second blast that destroyst it.

Err, yes, models that were inside take the 2nd hit. The first is fully resolved before the 2nd happens, But the models will be deploying before you see if you can place the mawloc, and there is no targetting restrictions. That would mean if you destroy it on a 2nd hit you will roll mishap.

From what I remember.

I think I agree with Nem, although the timing of who gets to place first, the Mawloc or the troops inside the transport if the transport gets destroyed in the second hit is interesting. Mawloc is placed after casualties are removed, but that would occur at the same time as the troops emergency disembarking. I think its going to come down to a die roll until they FAQ it.

Both players have to do something at the same time, so controlling player decides

Yup, the Mawloc really got a buffing with that 2 hit rule.

Meaning a mawlock vs rhine has a chance to instant kill everone inside if it does not scatter? That sems to good.

With near perfect rolls, sure it could. But anything less than perfect and you risk losing the mawloc.

Sweet.

Busby,
Also if a single player has to do two things at the same time, the player whom's turn it is decides which to resolve first.

ok this took a bit of digging on my part but p80 of the BRB has the placement of the passengers being a part of the damage to the vehicle process.

this would mean that the passengers would be placed before the mawlock

What happens if the mawloc wrecks a vehicle on the first hit. Does that mean that it gets forced back into reserves since it can not displace the vehicle? Or does he have a special ruling that always makes them blow up, or choose another location?

a wreked vehicle counts as terrain but is not impassable terrain, so it would arrive and take a DT test as normal for Deep striking (which due to it being an MC auto passes) however if it is a transport vehicle the unit would then be placed and mawloc would then need to resolve it's second hit and go back into reserves (I think that's how it works based of rumours ect, not sure what happens to it after the second hit is resolved)

Almost. If the second hit doesn't clear enough space for the Mawloc it's a mishap.

ah cool, I don't have the nid codex so I wasn't sure on what it said, that is nutts that it get two tries to clear up space before being placed or misshaping, its going to take a serious amount of bad luck for it to not clear a path!

Unless you're gunning for a transport, in which case it takes a hell of a lot of good luck to clear a path.

I am a bit uncertai on the wording. How much space must the second warlock hit clear? Can he still be plaved withing 1" of other units like after the first hit?

It specifically allows placement within 1" of an enemy unit with no mishap, stated in the codex.

You can be within 1" BUT if you end up in base contact with enemy models it is still a mishap.

If the vehicle is destroyed then the occupants are close hatched.
