Warhammer 40K Vehicle Ramming Rules?
Does anyone know the rules for vehicle ramming in the new 5th edition rules? I can’t afford the knew rulebook and I’ve gotten all the big rule changes of the GW website but I can’t seem to find vehicle ramming rules. can someone please help?
Well, first of all I can only encourage you to get hold of the rules one way or another. Joining a local wargaming club is great if you can’t afford the rulebook yourself, because there are bound to be people there with a copy who will let you read it while they play.
However, at the risk of breaching copyright, I’ll try to summarize the vehicle ramming rules.
Ramming is a special “tank shock” attack (and, hence, can only be performed by vehicles that can Tank Shock – i.e. usually tanks). The vehicle must move forward at its fastest possible movement rate in a straight line (with all the usual rules for difficult and dangerous terrain applying).
Obviously, if it contacts an infantry unit, apply the rules for Tank Shock.
If it contacts a vehicle, then it causes a hit on the relevant armour facing with a Strength equal to D6+1 for every point of armour on the ramming vehicle’s front armour above 10 (so +2 for a vehicle with front armour of 12, say), +1 for every full 3″ moved by the ramming vehicle up to the point that it struck the rammed vehicle, +1 if it is a tank (which, if it is ramming, it almost certainly is).
Meanwhile, the *rammed* vehicle inflicts the same hit back on the ramming vehicle, but obviously using the armour value of the side of the vehicle that was hit, rather than the front armour.
Both vehicles roll a D6 and apply the appropriate Strength to the result and consult the vehicle damage table.
In the event that the *ramming* vehicle causes a “Vehicle Destroyed – Explodes!” result, the ramming vehicle will the continue its move to its maximum move. This may result in it inflicting further ramming or Tank Shock attacks along its move line.
Visions of my Land Raider plouging through an incautiously aligned Ork Trukk detachment fill my mind!
