Someone in my local store told me that is was possible to run over units with tanks. Can someone please explain the details to me please. Also can someone let me know if they ever had a tank squad dedicated to running people over.

It's called Tank Shock, it's in the rulebook. If you don't have a rulebook you should get one.

It basically forces a morale check on the enemy to see if they run away. They can do an attack against it called "Death Or Glory" where they basically either grenade the tank to death or get crushed.

I'll explain it in as much detail as I can.

1. You move your tank through an enemy unit.
2. Said enemy unit must give way to the tank.
3. Enemy unit must take a morale check.
4. The unit may chose to perform an attack on the tank named "Death or glory" in which one member of the squad stands in front of the tank, and fires one shot against it. If the shot misses, then the member is squashed underneath the tank. If the shot is able to immobilize or destroy the tank, then it grinds to a halt before the squad member, and he is fine.

But the Ork Death Roller can kill people by tank shocking

[Adamblaze]

So it is only possible to kill them through death or glory or is it possible to kill them if they fail the morale test

[Bubgum]

No, If they fail the moral test, then they just fall back. You can only kill people in death or glory.

Thankyou very much for clearing that up. Another strange thing that struck me is in another thread a guy said he killed 20 guardians with two bikes by running them over. That sounded a bit strange to me.

[Bubgum]

....You can't tank shock with Bikes :P

But if I search waaay back in my databanks that is my brain, then I think there's a special rule for a certain biker unit that lets you run people over (I think? ???)

[Adamblaze]

Yeah thats what I was thinking. OK, thanks to everyone who helped me clear that up. Feel free to lock the topic now.

If the shot misses

My apologies for the nitpickadry, but a Death or Glory attempt always automatically hits (once, no matter how many shots or attacks).
