<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies What are the rules on Transports? With a Ork/nid Hord, I thought I should deploy in a fireing line(not using rhino), Turn 1 take the 24" shots, then turn 2 give them the rapid fire volley.
If I don't deploy in the Rhino, is the Rhino a seperate unit. Can I go into the hord attempting to do tank shock. When it is assaulted, is the unit is was listed for in combat also.
Basically, Can Transport vehicles start the game without passangers. Maybe used in reserve? Go off on it's own. When destroyed, what effect would it have on it's dedicated unit? With a hord army, they will be assault range in no time. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/581855.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/581855.page GMT Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies

The rhino is a seperate unit regardless of whether the unit is embarked or disembarked.
Can I go into the hord attempting to do tank shock.

Yes
When it is assaulted, is the unit is was listed for in combat also.

Nope. Only if both were assaulted at the same time.
Basically, Can Transport vehicles start the game without passangers.

Absolutely.
Maybe used in reserve?

Yes, although only the unit to which it is dedicated may be embarked in reserves or at the start of the game -- after that any unit may use it.
Go off on it's own.

Yes. No coherency. Can go off on its own, be in reserves on its own. etc.
When destroyed, what effect would it have on it's dedicated unit?

No affect other then they lose their ride, and any possible effect if they were close by from explosion, or from being pinned if embarked when it blew up, etc. Kill point is scored from this as well, seperate from whether the unit is destroyed or not.

HTH

Ork hordes of +11 models are fearless

tyranid hordes usually have synapse around(or they don't know what there doing) which makes them fearless.

In both cases they just get out the way. (in Ork case I usually let the Rokkit death or glory a rhino)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/583139.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/583139.page GMT Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies

It isn't useless if you have template weapons ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/583419.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/583419.page GMT Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies

And if they blow it up, it has a chance of taking out some of the enemy as well.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/584061.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/584061.page GMT Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies
Feel free to Death or Glory that lowly Rhino. You feeling lucky, punk? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/584969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/584969.page GMT Rules on Transports and dealing with hord armies
What if you manage to TS the warboss? He might take the shot.

Also, keep in mind that, in these instances, TSing the units is (or SHOULD BE) more for bunching them up better for some blast, ordnance & template lovin'.

For example, I had an autarch with a fusion gun in HtH with my opponent's russ. He tank shocked the autarch in order to shoot at him with some plasma guns and autocannons, which were likely to spell death for the autarch, so I went ahead and DoG'd the tank, even though I had a fairly low chance of success.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/586601.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231229/586601.page GMT
