Subject: 5th ed query on blown up transports w disembarked passengers
Dear sir/madam:
I hope you can help us clarify this. The situation is that a falcon and
a unit of shining spears both shot at a rhino. The shining spears were
not able to blow it up but the falcon did. The passengers were then
disembarked as the result.
My question is can the shining spears assault the disembarked
passengers?
Here's the rule in question from page 67 of the black reach mini
rulebook:
Note: Remember that all models in a single unit fire simultaneously, so
a squad cannot take out a transport with its lascannon and then mow down
the occupants with their bolters. However, if a transport is destroyed
(either result) by a ranged attack, the unit that shot it may assault
the now disembarked passengers, if it is allowed to assault according to
the assault rules.
Your help will be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Ryan

Subject: assulting disembarked troops from destroyed transports
I'd like to ask about the correct interpretation of this rule :
Page 67 of the Warhammer 40K 5th Edition Rulebook :
Note: remember that all models in a single unit fire simultaneously, so a squad cannot take out a transport with its lascannon and then mow down the occupants with their bolters. However, if a transport is destroyed either result) by a ranged attack, the unit that shot it may assault the now disembarked passengers, if it is allowed to assault according to the assault rules.
Specific game scenario :
I have 2 tactical squads with meltaguns, within shooting distance of an opponents Rhino which carries 1 squad of troops.
During my turn, Tactical squad A shoots at the rhino with a meltagun (nothing else), nothing happens. Tactical squad B then shoots at the same rhino with a meltagun, this time destroying it. Troops inside the rhino disembark as rhino exploded.
Question, can Tactical Squad A assault the now disembarked troops from the rhino?

Emcee Castillo

hopefully the reply to emcee's question will be the same. if it is then we'll treat this as official and use this ruling.
if it's not then we go with the vote. though that would be sad because that would mean GW gave two different answers to the same question! :lol:
That should be the end of it. Let's play on. :D
