Transporting Bikers

[Darkstrings]

A friend and I had a thought, and I looked around but my google fu may be lacking. Can you stuff a unit of bikes in a land raider? Seeing as CSM can stuff Spawn in a land raider i'd assume so, but then how much room would they take?

[Aradiel]

no.

page 78 of the rulebook under transport capacity

"a transport can carry a single infantry unit and/or any number of independent characters"

bikes are not infantry

[hallodx]

no.

page 78 of the rulebook under transport capacity

"a transport can carry a single infantry unit and/or any number of independent characters"

bikes are not infantry

It's strange here, since it's "and/or", can an IC on bike be transported?

[Aradiel]

no, because stops being a infantry - ic and becomes a bike - ic.

same thing for models with jump packs. they change from infantry to jump infantry, so they cant get in a lr either

and its and/or because ic´s can join the unit and are counted as part of it while embarked or they can join another ic to make a ic unit (page 39 rulebook)

you can also use a lr to carry a single ic but that seems sort of a massive waste

I don't know, a Land Raider Achilles with a Master of the Forge inside is a beast.

Point of order... Jump infantry can get in A vehicle, for example a storm raven, if the vehicle rules allow it.

[hallodx]

Nope, there's a "OR".

Because it can be a "or", the logic will not be stopped at judging if it's a "infantry", instead it will also judge if it is a IC as well.

So here will be 2 conditions let a unit get in a transport: It's a Infantry unit, or it's a IC

We shouldn't deny IC of other then infantry type get in is because if we do, we should also deny any non-IC unit get in because they don't fulfill being infantry and IC together.

This is why I think we could let a non-infantry get in a transport.

 

EDIT:

OOPS! sorry just checked BRB and there is "(as long as they are also Infantry)", so, no.
