    Default Can Trukks ram?

    It says in the ork dex that a reinforced ram lets trukks tank shock and for the purposes of death and glory increases its front armour by 2. Since ramming is a special kind of tank shock, does this mean that trukks can ram vehicles and get the armour bonus?

    Yes. A similar issue was brought up in the Errata for the Ork Codex, regarding the Deff Rolla. It states that ramming is indeed a tank shock, and that when ramming, D6 S10 hits are inflicted on the rammed vehicle. Same concept applies here. Although, might I say that trukks are not be the best thing to ram with.

    Does the 2 armour extra still apply then? cause armor 12 with trukks speed can still be somewhat good, not landraider explotions, but still..

    I'd say that it is allowed to ram (as the ork FAQ states that ram is simply a form of tank shock).
    However: it doesn't get the +2 armour; the wargear entry is very clear that you get "+2 armour against death or glory," and ramming doesn't get a death or glory reaction.
    It is not the combat I resent, brother. It is the thirst for glory that gets men cut into ribbons.

    Of note, however, is that you must have the reinforced ram to tank shock, as trukks are not tanks, and thus can't do it normally. With it, however, they are fair game.

    Yeah, a trukk with a reinforced ram can ram, but as ramming is not Death or Glory, the trukk's front armor is still 10 for the collision, which means that under optimal circumstances you can only get up to S6 with a ramming trukk.

    Nope, but it's fun.

    This is true normally, but not always. On a road you can go up to 25" with a trukk, which could make the hit strength 8. In Apoc the trukk convoy allows you to move up to 49" with a trukk, which is definately strength 10. I blew up an exorcist with a trukk that way.

    It's true, I watched him do it. It's worth pointing out that he did the same thing to a Rhino right next to that same exorcist, and all he did was knock off it's storm bolter, while both trukks went kerunch!
