Now, I understand that fast skimmers can move and fire at varying distances, but I did not think this applied to the crew, just the vehicle itself as there is no mention of the crew.

Under "Transport Vehicles" (fire points) in the Rule Book it states that the crew counts as moving as fast as the vehicle.

No where in the book (that I can find) does it say the crew of a transport vehicle can fire weapons based on what type of vehicle they are riding in.

Can he really contribute the crew's weapons to the amount of weapons the vehicle is allowed to fire just because the vehicle they are riding in is a fast skimmer?

Or to fire his crew's Dark Lance (heavy weapon) would he need to remain stationary as I thought? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292950/1542834.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292950/1542834.page GMT So I'm playing this Dark Eldar Player...

Firstly, it is not the crew that are firing, it is the embarked unit.

Secondly, if it moves, the unit counts as moving, so the Lance cannot fire.

In short, he needs to re-read the rules for passengers firing.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292950/1542873.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292950/1542873.page GMT Re:So I'm playing this Dark Eldar Player...
A fast vehicle (and therefore its crew) may fire all of its weapons if it moves up to 6".

Passengers on the vehicle may fore any of their weapons out of an open topped vehicle but count as moving. So passengers are not allowed to fire heavy weapons and may only use the short ranged mode of rapid fire weapons (unles they are relentless).

(66) so the dark lance in the transported unit would count as moving and be unable to shoot. He would still be able to fire the blaster and splinter rifles if the Raider moved 6" but the dark lance from the unit can only be fired if the Raider remains stationary. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292950/1542885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/292950/1542885.page GMT
