Red Paint Job

Ok I know that none of my vehicles have a red paint job yet, but I was wondering if the extra inch of movement from the red paint job can increase the "speed" at which a vehicle moves for the purpose of hitting it in close combat.

For example, a battlewagon with a red paint job moves 6 inches plus one for the red paint job so a total of 7. For the purposes of firing weapons it only counts as moving 6 inches. A battlewagon beside it also moves 7 inches but doesn't have red paint, so cannot fire weapons because it moved too far.

My question is, if there's a swarm of genestealers waiting to assault my wagons, will they logicaly go after the "faster" red one because it doesn't count as cruising or do they both have the same odds of being hit in close combat.

If you move more then 6", your vehicles are hit on 6's. If you move up to, but not over 6", opponents need 4's.

The red paint job only gives you benefits.. so you can always move an extra inch. If you move 7", you can still fire weapons as if you moved 6, AND your opponents will need 6's to hit. Thats how it worded in the Ork book at least... it says you dont incur penalities for moving the extra inch.

Thanks for this clarification, I have a hard enough time convincing people that my wagon can move more 7 and shoot let alone that they also need 6's to hit it.
