Makes sense, Neal ... we're still not sure if we are going to use the S/goth transport option.  Just to add, we leave KO AFVs on the board with a piece of appropriately painted up cotton (smoke & Flames !) on top (Ala - E40K), and can block LOS and be used as cover, (Ala - AH's Panzerblitz).  It's realistic (?) and looks COOL !  :cool: :;):

Yep. ?The cover chart in 1.8.4 specifies AV and WE for cover saves. ?No LVs. ?It's probably stated explicitly in the FAQ somewhere, but I won't swear to it.


The Squiggoth is an anomaly with respect to the vehicle classification rules. ?It seems like it should be big enough to take cover behind it but honestly, if you were an ork, would YOU want to take cover where that big beastie might step on you?

On a more practical note, with a transport capacity of 4, the most points that would be loaded in the thing might be ~100. ?The Squiggoth has RA. ?It's probably not worth it to unload. ?Just leave the troops in the doggone thing.

We're Orks. ?Kill all you want. ?We'll grow more. :D

Well that's right - when you're on your way getting there!

But when you actually  THERE I always unload.. that 1 lucky shoot is not gonna ruin my day! But more often than not, there seems to be clouded in terrain features that my little orkses can utilise for hiding! :D

Hehe I understand that hiding behind a squiggoth arse would demand special skills. But to a far extent so would hiding behind a buttload of orkeosaurus.  :cool:

Anyway I've cheated and I admit it!  :blush:

I must have the most selective memory on this forum!

I would hardly call it cheating.  It seems intuitive that a Squiggoth would provide cover.  It certainly seems big enough.

The problem is, as I noted, the reasons for it being classified as an LV are different than for most LVs and outside of its vulnerability it doesn't seem to fit the assumptions of LV status.

If I were playing you, I'd certainly be okay with letting you houserule it at least long enouhg to try it out.
