CAN YOU RAM WITH THEM, MOTHER &*#$@?!
Sorry, I just saw Pulp Fiction... ;D
Big debate on this at the 'ard Boyz Tourney. Some judges were allowing it and some were not. For the Ork playerz out there, this is a HUGE deal as it is one of the few viable ways of taking out Armor 14- our bane. Have you guys heard anything on this?

Why wouldn't you be able to? You're still driving a giant steamroller wheel into a hollow piece of metal.

Well, not looking for the obviously correct common sense answer. That never seems to apply with GW rulings.
Was curious as to what the ruling is in the books.

The Deff Rolla only mentions Tank Shock in the codex...nothing about ramming.

Well, the Deff Rolla was designed under the 4th Edition ruleset with 5th Edition in mind.
So I see no reason why it wouldn't be allowed for ramming (though it would have been nice if GW included something for it in the FAQ)

The BW is a tank, I think it is ment to ram like any other tank... and...it isn't in the FAQ...which you'd think it would be.

Mhmm. I see no reason why it shouldn't have it's effect during ramming.

so... it really is up to the people hosting the games until GW says something about it. Then this is likely going to be one of those debates that never really gets resolved. Excellent.

Yeah... anyway, I avoid these questions by leaving the rollas at home... PKs kill AV14.(especially if you go at em with your Warboss.)
Warboss+PowerKlaw+Attack Squig guaranteed 6 s10 attacks on the charge... hop out of that opened topped BW and crush yourself some Land Raiders.

Wrecking balls can help too.
Don't forget your PK armed Nobz!

Get a bording plank and you dont even have to get out to do it.

The Adepticon FAQ took the line that Ramming is a form of Tank Shock, and so Vehicles hit by a DeffRolla would take the hits, and Trukks with a Reinforced Ram can, in fact, Ram.
It's not an "official" document, but around here it's generally accepted.

Right here.Note also that this was put together by the same guys who did most of the work on the 5th Ed FAQS on GW's Website.
