Kiour_gr Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hello, 1.Does a Landspeeder that deepstriked count as moved? 2. if I assault with a deamon prince a L. speeder, what will I need to roll to hit? In case that it did not move all is fine I hit it automaticly. 3.In case it did move and I need 6s to hit and manage to imobilize it does it get destroyed? 4.If assault I with a deamon the L.S from the back or side (Staying out of its 180 view) and imobilize it, can it still shoot the deamon prince on the next turn? How do you determine the angle of the weapons on such vehicles? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Land speeders that deep struck count as moving all-out according to a recent FAQ. So, you need 6s to hit and immobilized destroys it. The fact that what assaulted the speeder is a demon prince is irrelevant. I do not believe land speeder weapons are turret mounted, so they should have a 45 degree fire arc. If you are behind an immobilized speeder it should not be able to shoot you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are behind an immobilized speeder it should not be able to shoot you. But since it'd be dead that is irrelevant anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But since it'd be dead that is irrelevant anyway :lol: In normal circumstances (moving less than flat out), it is possible to immobilize and not destroy a speeder.

Seahawk Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Which FAQ? The BRB clearly says that deepstriking vehicles count as moving as cruising speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Which FAQ? The BRB clearly says that deepstriking vehicles count as moving as cruising speed... If my memory is correct, codex space marines FAQ says speeders count as all out when deep striking. I can't find that faq on their website, so perhaps it has been removed. Maybe they realised it was a bad answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The FAQs for both the Marine Codex and the BRB say no such thing. :P Deepstriking speeders count as moving at cruising speed. http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/...019&start=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 BRB pg. 95 under Deep Strike, “In that turn’s Shooting phase, these units can fire (or run) as normal, and obviously count as having moved in the previous Movement phase. Vehicles count as having moved at cruising speed.” So upon arrival from Deep Striking: Landspeeders are Fast vehicles so they may fire one weapon within their 45o arch of forward fire (I don’t think any of their weapon options count as Defensive). Transported models (i.e. LS Storm) may not fire, pg 66 but may disembark. In the following turn, enemy units may shoot at them normally (i.e. no 4+ cover save from moving Flat Out) and if assaulted they are hit on 6’s. They suffer Immobilized damage results as normal. That only changes to Wrecked if they move Flat Out. I think that sums it up. -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Well a typhoon could fire off a pair of frag missiles and its heavy bolters, but thats the exception that makes the rule right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OwlandMoonGuy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 The Frags are Defensive so I believe that’s still consistent. Thanks for the reminder. -OMG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty the Pyro Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Indeed, Frags are STR 4, and thus defensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
