stephane4985 Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I'm sure it has been asked before, but I did not find any conclusive answer to that, and now since the wording is the same in 6th, I would like to know the answer. If you shoot and destroy a transport, who can assault the unit that was inside? 1) Only the unit that destroy the transport. 2) any unit that has shoot at the transport, even tho it is the the one that destroyed it 3) any unit that have not shot at another target. Seems from the rule book that the answer is 2. But I find it weird that, for example, a squad of genetealers could not charge a unit that got out of a rhino destroyed by some Hiveguard.

StrayCatt Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I am thinking you are looking at this backwards ... Say you have 3 units, A, B, & C Into thier midst drives a Rhino and a predator. Unit A shoots at the Rhino, destroying it, troops disembark ... Unit B shoots at the Pred, immobilizing it ... Unit c does not fire. Assuming A&B can charge (say they have assault weapons) Unit B can charge the Pred, but only the Pred ... Unit C can charge either the Pred, or the disembarked troops Unit A may not be able to charge. ... Need to check further on that one, but that is my first impression from the rules on page 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Page 80, right hand, third paragraph. Any unit that shot at the transport during the shooting phase can assault the disembarked passengers once the transport vehicle is destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Mage Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Note however that it doesnt say that anyone else cant assault them. So, assuming that you have a squad that didnt shoot at anyone- say those genestealers for example- theres no reason they couldnt charge the newly vulnerable troops.

So, in this situation, we actually don't have a change from how it was in 5e. V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacinda Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 If it helps, think of the transport as an Independent Character that has joined the unit. After that, everything else fits together naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asianavatar Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 What about the situation where unit A shoots at the rhino but doesn't destroy it, than unit be shoots at the rhino and destroys it. Can unit A charge the unit inside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Willy Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It would seem that way, Not sure, but I feel you assume the transport and unit embarked within a one unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
