==3rd Edition== {{topquote|That cursed Homunculus grafted me glass bones and paper skin. Every morning I break my legs, and every afternoon I break my arms. At night, I lay in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.|An excerpt from the recovered memoirs of Solarite Mezadros.}} *'''"Can I borrow your car?":''' A pretty simple one. 3rd Edition 40k got rid of the "Support" category, and instead allowed certain units to buy vehicles as Dedicated Transports; said vehicles did not take a separate slot on the Force Organization Chart, but throughout the editions would have deployment restrictions, with the Transport only allowing the unit it was bought for to deploy embarked inside it. [[Fail|There was no general rule that a Dedicated Transport had to actually transport the unit it was bought for, meaning any such restrictions had to be explicitly printed for each unit that had the option for taking a Transport.]] [[derp|This led to interesting situations when GW forgot to place such restrictions]], [[wat|such as taking a Razorback to transport a Bike Command Squad or a Wolf Guard unit of zero models, or taking a tiny Wartrukk for a Mob of 30 Orks]]. *'''Scourges Don't Lift:''' Back then Scourges were Jump Pack Infantry with no ability to move and shoot their Heavy Weapons (unless they took Splinter Cannons, which were decent but not stellar). To add insult to injury GW gave them a warrior statline (they were literally BS3 Imperial Guardsmen stat-wise), and ridiculously expensive weapons that don't come standard. They were also among the more fiddly of the metal models to assemble as well with casts that rarely came out right (Right up there with the metal Wraithlord, metal Daemon Prince, and [[Finecast]] in terms of outright defective models that you had to fix yourself with Green Stuff). Accordingly, they were seen as a joke unit in an already difficult to pilot army. *'''Sat on da Banna Wava again...:''' In 3rd edition the Orks could, under the Bosspole wargear rules, give a Grot the Bosspole. Unfortunately you could not buy the Grot needed to carry it, [[Makari|presumably because he'd been sat on again]]. Thankfully this was FAQ'd rather quickly.
