<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Ork red paint"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/15.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Ork red paint INAT FAQ for this, but got nothing:

How does red paint work with regards to being hit in assault?

That is, it's clear to me that an ork vehicle can move 7" and count as moving 6" for the purposes of weapon fire or difficult terrain (the latter a change from the previous codex)

However, during your opponents turn, does he hit this vehicle on a 4+ or a 6+? Do you use how far the vehicle moved, or how far the vehicle 'counted as moving' last turn?

Resources:

'Ork vehicles with red paint jobs add +1 to their move in the Movement phase but do not incur penalties for this extra inch. For example, a vehicle could move 13" and still count as moving 12".' (ork book)

'Attacking a vehicle that moved more than 6" in its previous turn - 6+'

'When assessing how far a vehicle has moved, only take into account the actual distance covered, moving forward and backwards doesn't help!'

I am undecided on this myself - on one hand, you could say that being hit on a 4+ is a penalty, on the other hand you 'still count as moving [6"]'. I lean towards being hit on a 4+.

This can be seen two ways, however. As it does not incur any penalties for moving more then 6", should it also not incur any benefits? At 7" would not be much faster then 7", as it is interpretted for purposes for movement in terrain and shooting. So for assault purposes it shouldn't be too much faster. However, the rules mentioned in the codex do not state that.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/259789.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/259789.page GMT Ork red paint RAW it gets the benifits and not the penelties so I'd say yes, it's a 6+ to hit it. RAI who knows for sure but they probably didn't intend that. Unually when they intend a subtle benifit they spell it out as a reminder like gift of chaos allows no save because there was no wounds.

However until a faq I would play it RAW.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/260388.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/260388.page GMT Re:Ork red paint
I'd also guess that fluff wise this would be the answer too, the extra speed comes from the orcs' psychic aura rather than red paint or techno stuff, and it's this that lets them still fire weapons as it's not just done on pure brain power.

Sorry if that didn't make sense, it does in my head........]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/260429.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/260429.page GMT Ork red paint http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/260605.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/260605.page GMT Ork red paint
I would definently not consider the further movements affect on oponents attacks on the vehicle a penalty.

In short, in the oponents turn how far has the vehicle actually moved?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/261520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/208851/261520.page GMT
