In this article Colen 'Skrillboy' McAlister <demandred@skrill.org> wrote

Not according to the infamous Q&A. 27) If a looted Rhino is upgraded with weapon options (bolt on big shootas for example), would that mean only 1 Rhino could be taken (since any upgrade would put it above 50 points)? Or is it just for the initial cost where you have to deal with the 51+points limitation? The former - it's the vehicle worth that's the issue. The former here refers to "would that mean only 1 rhino could be taken, since the latter answer is "Or is it just for the initial cost...etc". Or to put it another way, if I blow your vehicle up, what is it worth for victory points? The cost of the vehicle and all upgrades, not the initial/base cost of that vehicle. Cheers Grotfang, not so humble ork warlord. ------------------------ Yahoo!
