ok this has been bouncing around my head. its to do with dedicated transport.if the list states there is no dedicated transport you can put your troops in something but it costs you a slot right? fast attack right ? or are you just not allowed.
see i wanna put some flash gitz in a truck...(or battlewagon) and i want to convert the truck so it looks like a flash gitz truck would......lot s of flags, bling, spikes ,a big blower on the front, chrome pipes. The truck is not listed in fast attack ,and the flash gitz have no deadicated transport. OR do i have to put them in a battle wagon?.....(talk about chesse,10+ heavy zapp gun's with more dakka shooting off the back of a heay weapon tank!!) OR are they just not allowed and have to walk.

i can hear you all groaning...... .and laughing Grin
or am i just confusing myself.
ta very muchly.......a n old man who refuses to grow up

the question is a little confusing but i think i got what you're after - when you purchase a unit they may have the option to get a dedicated transport.  this allows the unit to start the game mounted on their transport, or come in from reserves in it.  but if you feel like it, after you've deployed and the game has started, the vehicle is allowed to pick up other units in your army.

in the case of non-dedicated transports i'm pretty sure any unit that can, may begin the game in it, or come in from reserves in it like it was dedicated.  someone may want to correct me on that one though.


so in the case of your flashgitz, they don't have the option to buy a trukk as a dedicated transport.  however, once the game's kicked off they may "borrow" another units trukk.  they just can't start the game in it, and can't use it to come from reserves.

they'd be able to do this on a battlewagon however.  and along with Looted Wagons its pretty much your only transport option that can be bought for your flashgitz, seeing trukks are only purchased as dedicated transports.

and loading up a battlewagon full of dakka boyz?... well i found out first hand how painful Wayde's battlewagon with ten burnaboyz and CFF mek in it is.  Undecided

thank you dude,you have answered my badly worded question. A battlewagon it is then
i want my flashgitz to have there own transport and have the battlewagon painted and blinged up the same colours as the gitz . So it looks like they are hired hands / free-booters from the bad moons clan.
i was asking because i didn't want to waste my time converting a truck to be "flash" and not have it be allowed to have the gitz in it at the start. again thanks

true, they must've retconned it, because back in 2nd ed freebooterz were their own clan, hiring themselves out to any waagh (or even rogue imperial forces i think)
