open toped damage

[sofewbullets]

hi !

 

my question is this...

 

on page 70 of the rule book in regards of on apen toped vehicle being destroted " the strenght of hits inflicted..... is one point lower than it would be in a normal transport (ie strength 3)"

 

they way this is phrased makes me think that a normal vehicle would be streinght 4.

 

on page 61

" models in range suffer a strenght 3 hit "

 

now that s3 is a Normal vehicle

 

Dose open top make it strenght 2 ?

is the Kaboom ! rule in the ork codex effected by this ?

 

What do you guys think ? proof not guesses please. :huh:

Since it states that the strength of the hit by the vehicle exploding (strength 3 hit) is 1 point lower, then yes, it would be a Strength 2 hit.

You are correct - see page 67 of the rulebook regarding Destroyed-Explodes! and the effect on passengers.

 

on page 61

" models in range suffer a strenght 3 hit "

On page 70, under Open-Topped Transport Vehicles, the rules states (emphasis mine) "...the strength of hits inflicted on passengers by exploding open topped transports is one point lower than it would be in a normal transport (i.e. Strength 3)."

 

Page 61 describes the exploding effect in regard to nearby units. Therefore you would use strength 3.

 

is the Kaboom ! rule in the ork codex effected by this ?

I don't see an exception under the Kaboom! rules in the Ork codex for open topped vehicles. Use strength 3.
