Rhino & Kil point

[0.cool]

If I destroy a Rhino, do I get 1 Kill point?

Thanks for replay!

1 unit = 1 kill point

Rhino = 1 unit

 

So yes, you do.

Hey,

 

Rhino = 1 unit

 

Negative. A Rhino is a Transport option for a Unit, not a Unit itself:

 

A Land Raider can be either/or, as it's listed as a HS option -

If taken as a HS choice in your FOC, it is a Unit for KP purposes.

If deployed as a Dedicated Transport, it's *not* a Unit for KP purposes.

 

There is no option to take a Rhino as anything other than a Dedicated Transport.

 

So, no. You get no Kill Points for destroyed Rhinos.

MULTIPLE UNIT CHOICES

Note that occasionally the Codexes allow the player to include several units in his army at the cost of a single force organisation slot (like dedicated transports, etc.). Apart from being bought as a single choice, these units operate and count as separate units in all respects.

 

 

(Emphasis mine)

 

The rulebook begs to differ.

 

We are not talking about FoC slots, we are talking about units. The two are not necessarilly the same thing. Kill points are for "units".

 

If you were correct, which I am afraid you are not, it would also be perfectly legal to target a unit and their transport at the same time with shooting attacks (assuming unit is disembarked). This is simply not the case.

I think WarpSpawn has explained well the situation. I agree with you.

Thanks to all!

There is some confusion also because of the modified rules for the 'Ard Boys tourney. It was a good compromise but by No means RAW.

One Unit= 1 kill point. so yes rhinos are a kill point. Tac. squad split into combat squads are 2 kill points.

And then you really get into unhappy Nid players with spore mines.
