Stopping a Wagon

To me that would work ... RAW at its best.

I'd hate you for it but if you wanted to go ahead...though if the wagon ever explodes your gonna lose alot of grots.

well the grotz are guna have to be in BtB contact with the tank...

arnt there rules about being that close?

Hmmm... interesting question.

I would think that it would count as moving 0".
Basically counting as moving without actually moving.
Well, thats my opinion anyway, purely for sportsmanship reasons.

You can try to claim it as stationary if you want, but be prepared to receive some disgusted looks from the person on the other side of the table.

this would be my veiw as well, its ok if you want your tank to not move but actualy shooting is a no

All seems duable except the cover save. Read the rule books section, about vehicles and cover. It says you don't get any obscuring or cover save unless there is something covering 50% of the tank facing the enemy (For instance a Defiler behind a rhino). So unless you model MC grots no cover save for you.

the gun may fire whether the vehicle moves or not.

As it is Ordnance no other weapons mare fire regardless of movement.

The rules say it must move as far as possible (the distance to the friendly model) so you're following that.

You're taking a Looted Wagon FFS!


Nope, I can't find anything wrong with it. :victory:

Thanks for the clarification, everyone!
R3con, that is a possibility. But then again, "Oh no! I lost a dozen grots to my exploding wagon! Fourty points down the drain! What ever shall I do!?"
Hahahaha! LukeValantine, monstrous grots would be an AWESOME sight! Hmmm... Yeah, I can probably either lose the cover, or use a bigger bunch of guys, like Lootaz. Now there's an idea. A few Lootaz with one Big Shoota Mek just for the hell of it...
And yes, DeathKlokk, I am probably taking a Looted Wagon at some point. Purely for the modelling/painting reasons. Which is pretty much 90% of the reason I'll be collecting Orks anyway

as i see it thats completly legal...but you probbly won't get cover saves as the 50% rules applys to all armour and monsters so Grots will not give you that save...but they can kepp your tank in place and hold objectives (if they are troops as i don't own the ork codex) while doing that.

Use a 3rd ed Rhino/Razorback.

Oh the small, cute thingy? I saw that one, it's adorable!

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Red Paint Job?
Even if you are moving a short distance, you count as stationary for whatever you want it to <3
Seriously, RPJ is the single best upgrade in the game, if not for impact on the game, then for ability to fuck around with the rules to get awesome advantages (such as a non-fast vehicle being hit on 6's in melee, but still being able to shoot 1 primary weapon ).

No one has mentioned Red Paint Job because it doesn't do that. Never has and never will.

one good hit with a boomgun can take out a marine squad tho

Naughty but nice.
I might have to use this for Apoc Games, though I might up grots to a buggy/trakk screen.

Not sure how that would work ... if you move @ cruising speed you get no shots, and they would need 6's to hit you. If you move @ combat speed you get one shot and they need 4+ to hit you. Unless there is something I do not know about RPJ.

He probably planned to move 7" to get cruising speed bonus, but retain fire options of combat speed. Or something like that.
I don't think RPJ works like that. You move normally, and then you add one more inch, and that inch is not counted ANYWHERE.

Except it is counted when the vehicle is assaulted. To hits against a vehicle that moved is based on actual distance moved, not speed band. While the chart shows to hits based on speed band, there is a note just under it:

"Note: when assessing how far a vehicle has moved, only take into account the actual distance covered from its original position."​
