Obeliske Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What is the difference between a fast tank and just moving flat out? It says they move 12'' if going flat out but flat out also says 12''... What am i missing here?

Venemox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Vehicles have three basic speed ranges. Stationary (did not move), Combat Speed (moved up to 6"), and Cruising Speed (moved more than 6" up to 12"). How fast a vehicle moved determines how many weapons it can fire and what ballistic skill to use. Stationary vehicles can fire all available weapons at full BS, moving at Combat Speed reduces this to a single weapon at full BS (the remainder are Snap Shots), and a vehicle that moved at Cruising Speed fires all weapons as Snap Shots. Additionally, vehicles can make a 6" move during their Shooting Phase called Flat Out, instead of firing weapons. Fast vehicle can move at Combat Speed and still fire all weapons as though they remained stationary. Fast Vehicles that move at Cruising Speed can fire up to two weapons at full BS, the remainder are Snap Shots. A Fast vehicle moving Flat Out may move up to 12".

Obeliske Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 Heavy Vehicles can also fire all weapons as though they had remained at rest as long as they only move combat speed as well though. correct? and thank you in advance for answering :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296931-question-about-fast-tanks/#findComment-3813236 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam13n Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What you want is the "How many weapons can a vehicle fire a full ballistic skill" table, which is in the reference section of the BWB (page 201 of the hard-copy). It contains all the answers to your questions. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/296931-question-about-fast-tanks/#findComment-3813307 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venemox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yes, Heavy vehicles always count as Stationary for determining which weapons it can fire (and at what BS) However, Heavy vehicles can never move faster than Combat Speed, and can never go Flat Out. You're welcome. Playing Blood Angels, I have to wrap my head around Fast Vehicles every edition change. I love my Dakka Baals. EDIT: Dam13n is absolutely right on that reference, it's the best summary. I tend to make a one page cheat sheet of relevant rules and references for my army list, so I don't have to pull the book out when I need to refresh my memory.

Interrogator-Chaplain Ezra Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'd just like to point out something a lot of people miss: vehicles, even heavy ones, that fire ordnance weapons are reduced to snap-shot for all other shooting in the same turn. I've had to show people the entry in the rulebook more than once.

Eberious Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 quick question, my mate moved his 'fast' ork trukk 12 inches, then went without shooting and moved another 12inches. Is that right. ? I read it as can move another 6 inches and by doing this it trigger a dangerous terrain test ? he argues that hes not going through dangerous terrian so didnt have to take the test.

Dam13n Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 A Fast Vehicle (like an Ork Trukk) can Flat Out 12". (page 88, BWB) The Dangerous Terrain comment from the "Flat Out" section means that he still takes a Dangerous Terrain test if the vehicle moves through / into Difficult or Dangerous Terrain just as if it had done so during the Movement Phase. In other words, so long as his Flat Out move did not result in the Trukk going through terrain, he's fine.
