Tokunator Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Last night I played a game against Orks and my Predator was taken apart by Lootas to the point where it had lost its three weapons and was unable to shoot for a turn anyway. So I decided to ram it into the next Trukk it could find. Needless to say, ramming a battle tank into a pick-up truck had the desired effect and the Trukk was destroyed. However, then the problems began. Trukks have the Ramshackle rule, so if a Trukk is 'Destroyed' or 'Wrecked' you instead roll on a chart. One of the results (and the result we rolled) is that the Trukk moves 3d6" in a random direction. However, as the Predator had rammed it and was therefore within one inch of the Trukk, can it move at all? The rule says that the movement has to stop as soon as the Trukk is within one inch of an enemy model, so does that mean that if it is rammed and destroyed, it cannot be moved at all by the Ramshackle rule? So, have I already answered my own question and it cannot move under these circumstances, or did I miss something? And a follow-up question: If I destroy a Trukk and the model is removed, can I then tank-shock the passengers, provided I still have enough movement left to reach them? Or more generally speaking, can I tank-shock a unit during a ramming manoeuvre?

Trekari Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 The last paragraph on page 69 of the BRB will answer your follow-up question. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152893-ramming-a-trukk/#findComment-1781466 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarpSpawn Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I think you have already answered your question with the ramshacle rule, yes. If it starts within 1" of a unit, it means it does not have to go very far to be within 1" of a unit. Yes, you can continue moving and ram or tank shock a further target. This can include the passengers who survived the trukk being destroyed, as long as they end up in it's path.

Praeger Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Actually i see nothing wrong with the Ork trukk being moved the distance rolled. There are numerous occasions where you are within the 1" and are forced to move, i believe this is one of them.

WarpSpawn Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 On further investigation, I retract my previous statement regarding ramshackle. The 1" rule only applies if the movement would cause it to crash into an enemy model or terrain. You would therefore need to roll the scatter and see if it would in any way hit the vehicle that rammed it, or anything else for that matter. If so, I am not sure whether you would move it 1" away or just leave it in place, though the latter seems more sensible.

Mal Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 well considering how close teh pred would be to the truck, chances are the arrow will have an approx 50% chance of aiming for the pred... I believe that it can be moved however. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152893-ramming-a-trukk/#findComment-1783671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother_Dan'l Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That just doesn't "feel" right does it? A tank runs over a trukk and the trukk goes squirting out like the someone stepping on a ketchup packet? :mellow: Ah well. I'm sure there are all sorts of ways to justify that effect. Though maybe only 1 in 1000 times, not 1 in 6. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152893-ramming-a-trukk/#findComment-1785459 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I think thats the problem there, the tank doesn't 'run over' the trukk, it rams it.... Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152893-ramming-a-trukk/#findComment-1785559 Share on other sites More sharing options...
