couple of quick questions

Hi All,

have been lurking on this forum ever since ive been activley seeking an army to buy(bout 9 months now). ive finally got a decent amount of gear to make a semi-competitive and fun list!!!

anyways im sure this has been discussed many times but i cannot find a rule reference for it. can somone point me to where it is stated that our jetbikes get the 2d6 move in assault phase, similar to that of the eldar? furthermore im assuming this can be done even after turbo-boosting?

and one other thing, i suppose its 40k related in general but when deep-striking, the vehicle counts as moving at cruising speed, so our skimmers can still fire 2 weapons at full BS, but the effect of cruising speed carries over to the passengers as well right? so they would only be able to snap fire on the turn they arrive?

in my newbness there might be a few more questions to follow, sorry :S

thanks in advance

P.S. have come over from the C:SM side, Black Templar for about 3 years, the "new dex" was the final straw that sent me over your way

p.45 of the main rulebook, bottom right:
- Eldar (and Dark Eldar) Jetbikes - "...jetbikes may move up to 2d6" in the Assault phase..."

and then just above it, top right:
- Turbo-Boost - "...jetbikes therefore cannot shoot, charge, or execute any other voluntary action for the rest of the turn after turbo-boosting."

So since turbo-boosting happens before the assault-move, they can't do it.

And yeah if a transport moves at speed X, the passengers are always considered to have moved at speed X as well.

If we're putting some general questions here can anyone tell me why a bastion provides a 3+ cover save for vehicles obscured by it?

Because it's a fortification and the cover save chart on page 18 says fortifications give 3+ cover.
