I was firmly on the yes category at first, since Open Topped transfers modifiers to the Passengers.

but I became a little on the fence when I read that Heavy weapons only affect Models that move, and the Models inside the Transport are not moving.
So even if it transfer the modifier of -1 if you moved, it's irrelevant since they didn't move.

I'm really looking to argue this one way or another, since I don't really care about the which is right.
I just want a confirmation which is right.

Q. The Ork Battlewagon’s Mobile Fortress ability says the
Battlewagon ‘ignores the penalty for moving and firing Heavy
weapons’. Its Open-topped ability says that ‘restrictions and
modifiers that apply to this model also apply to its passengers’.
Does that mean that a unit embarked also ignores the penalty
for firing Heavy weapons if the battlewagon has moved?
A. No.


I think it's pretty clear that models in moving Open Top transports count as moving for the purposes of shooting. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731952/9478587.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731952/9478587.page GMT Models with Heavy Weapons in Open Topped Transports http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731952/9478591.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731952/9478591.page GMT Models with Heavy Weapons in Open Topped Transports http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731952/9478600.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/731952/9478600.page GMT Models with Heavy Weapons in Open Topped Transports

They really should have put something akin to this question in the General, but works for me.
