Adorondak Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So after a great deal of searching through both the rulebook and the codex I've figured out that I can in fact put a unit of three bikers in a drop pod. I'm thinking with two grav guns and a grav pistol for the sarg. My question is has anyone else tried this? How did it work out? Did you have to walk your opponent through the rules so that they understood that it was allowed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenith Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 You cant have looked too hard, the first paragraph of the transport rules say that infantry only can be transported Sorry, it's the third para on the page, the bolded bit, and then restated in the 4th para.

Adorondak Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Unless the vehicle states otherwise, infantry only in a vehicle.That's what I thought but I couldn't find that rule anywhere in the 7th ed rulebook. Can you give me a page number? But that does raise another couple of questions for me. Why give bikers the very bulky rule at all if they can't board a transport/building and why specifically state that rhinos and razorbacks can not carry ether bulky or very bulky troops? Seems like a waste of effort. Edit: Ahhh, there it is alright. Damn I must be blind. Thanks Zenith. Oh well it was a nice thought while it lasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a waste of effort. The rhino/razorback restriction is to keep Terminators/centurions out. There are FW transports that can transport non-infantry, which is where the bikes having bulky would matter. Reread the transport rules. The rules specifically state that transports can only carry infantry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ushtarador Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I still think stormravens should be able to carry bikes :D would be an awesome sight, the hatch opens and a huge guy on a huge bike thunders through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ravel Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Can the Caestus Ram transport bike ? I know it can transport 10 models, no matter what. Does that count as being able to transport 10 bike ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolemai Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 No, because it doesn't explicitly say it does. Therefore, you default to the "infantry only rule" mentioned above. Of course, you could always email Forgeworld (they could do with responding whether or not jump troops can embark on this one too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither of which are bikes...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Exactly my point. AFAIK there are no vehicles outside Forgeworld that allow bikes to be transported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ushtarador Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Yeah I know it doesn't, I'm just saying it should be able to ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knife&fork Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 The same rule that dashed my dreams of the puppy basket (FA drop pod + fenrisian wolves) when the SW codex came out :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
