Hey, I'm very new here and this is my first post, i really apologise if I'm posting in the wrong places, i don't really know where I'm going XD

I was mainly here wondering if someone could answer a question for me which I'm having a very hard time finding an answer too.

When a unit is embarked upon a vehicle, may that unit spend its shooting phase by shooting out of an access point on that vehicle.

My buddies and I currently are saying that we will allow a single model to fire its weapon out of each access point, as if it was a fire point, but i was wondering if anyone can clarify if none, some or all the models within are able to fire while being safely inside a vehicle.

The example i will use is this;

A squad of 8 Fire dragons are embarked upon a Wave serpent (which has no fire points) how many of my models can fire out of the rear access point?

Should be in YMDC - I'll flag a mod to move it.

Zero. You can only fire out of firing points, not access points.

Yeah, a vehicle with no Firing points does not permit any model within to fire out.

If you were permitted to fire from an access point then the rules for them would say as much. Since they do not then you may fire from an access point.

Thanks for the replies, and thank you for showing kindness towards my noobishness

Thats a shame though, I was really hoping I could unleash fiery hell without disembarking my Dragons, since i can't make them jump out if the Serpent if it has moved more then 6'', ah well never mind, a turn behind cover will be fine I'm sure, thanks all
