Really the best I can suggest is that you agree with your opponent on how you will be accounting for it before the game starts. Which meant they could spin freely as much as they liked in that edition in 9th you are supposed to account for their movement with no freebies. The main improvement 9th made over 8th is that there are no parts that are magically “not hull” like Turrets.

You can measure distances whenever you wish.īut only in a way that doesn’t really make it clear if based models have “hulls” or not. If a model does not have a base, such as is the case with many vehicles, measure to the closest point of any part of that model this is called measuring to the model’s hull.

Hull is defined elsewhere as being all part of a model that aren’t base. The distance a model moves is measured using the part of the model’s base (or hull) that moves furthest along its path (including parts that rotate or pivot). There’s no fine point on that, the rules are vague, many large models lack bases, and many models large and small extend past their base, so it gets very confusing very quickly. What’s important is that when it matters you check how many can actually fit and then roll that number of dice to the destroyed transport rule. In reality most people will just check how many models can fit and make the appropriate rolls and then place the models on the table, because it’s a bit of a waste of time to get models out of a case or set them up just to remove them. If some of the models couldn’t fit in the available space either due to terrain, other friendly models, or enemy models and their engagement range, those models are destroyed before you roll. Rules as written you should disembark the unit before making the rolls to see if any models die, as you only make as many rolls as models you set up. If the transport has got any enemy models nearby it’s possible that there won’t be sufficient space to set up the entire unit. Units cannot declare a charge or perform a Heroic Intervention in the same turn that they disembarked from a destroyed TRANSPORT model. For each roll of 1, a model that disembarked (your choice) is destroyed.

If there are any units embarked within the destroyed TRANSPORT model, these must now immediately disembark before the model itself is removed from the battlefield these units are not affected by the destroyed model’s Explodes ability (or equivalent) – instead you must roll one D6 for each model you just set up on the battlefield. If a TRANSPORT model is destroyed, and that model has the Explodes ability (or equivalent), roll to see if it explodes and resolve any resulting damage to nearby units before setting up any units embarked within it (if any) on the battlefield. It concerns disembarking from a destroyed transport. This one is relatively benign and not even something that directly contradicts the rules in most circumstances.
