grandmaster lisander Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 a friend and myself had a disagreement about the rules for the blood angels vehicles, namely the Baal class pred. its listed as being a fast tank, it’s been about a year since my last game so I’m a little rusty on the new rules for 5th ed. but I believe if a fast vehicle doesn’t move flat out it can still fire one weapon. My friend argued that since it’s also a tank it can’t move more than 6 inch and fire a weapon. If anyone can point me in the right direction id be obliged. I have checked the FAQ on the games workshop site and I’ve skimmed through my 5TH ED BA codex but I seem to be missing any explanation for this.

Morticon Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Fast = fire 1 main and all defensive. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247372-move-and-shoot-for-fast-tanks/#findComment-2995065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnaeph34rn473 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 You're correct, your friend is wrong. I can't point you to the correct page for the rules since I'm at work right now, but the entry you are looking for is in the 5th Ed. rulebook, not the codex. It's under the vehicle section can't remember if they put it under movement or shooting.

AstraWlad Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Look at the p. 70 of Core Rulebook: "FAST VEHICLES FIRING Fast vehicles may move and fire more effectively than other types of vehicles. Fast vehicles that move at combat speed may fire all of their weapons, just like other types of vehicles that have remained stationary (including ordnance barrage weapons, which cannot usually be fired on the move). Fast vehicles that move at cruising speed may fire a single weapon (plus all defensive weapons, just like other types of vehicle moving at combat speed). Fast vehicles moving flat out may fire no weapons." Also at p. 73 there is a table named "VEHICLE MOVING & SHOOTING SUMMARY CHART" -- show it to your opponent and ask him to find a word "tank" in it :cuss.
