Question on Reroll Auras and Transports

[Magos_Adephus]

Whazzup guys. So I know that aura abilities don't work if the unit with the aura is in a transport i.e. a platoon commander issuing orders to a nearby squad of Guardsmen or a Space Marine Captain's reroll aura. My question is about the transport, say the aforementioned Space Marine captain is in a Land Raider Crusader, an infantry squad right outside the Land Raider doesn't get rerolls, but does the Land Raider get rerolls because the Captain is inside of it?

As for the question, the answer is no for the reasons you stated (i.e. nothing works from inside a transport). This is true for anything from a Captain to even a Techmarine.

For a unit's rules to work while the unit is in a transport, the rule has to specifically state that (and how) it does so.

 

For example, if you have access to the Ork's Index, look at the Big Mech's kustom forcefield - it specifically states how it has an aura normally, but applies instead towards the vehicle if the Mech is embarked on it.  If it hadn't set out how it worked when the Mech was embarked, it wouldn't.
