Epic 41K Transport Rules:

The "Big Fella's" rule on page 104 of the Battle book is in use,
meaning that Greater Deamons, The Eldar Avatar, Hive Tyrants &
Carnifexes can not be transported.

Any unit with Transport or Tunneller special power is rated to the
number of BASIC infantry stands it can carry.

Several types of infantry stands are bigger than your run of the mill
grunt but are still mounted 5 per stand, which means that fewer units
can be carried per transport vehicle.

 The following infantry types use 2 (two) transport slots.
Space Marines Terminator Armor
Ogryns

Several types of infantry are smaller than your run of the mill grunt
but are mounted 5 per stand
The following infantry types use 1/2 of a transport slot (i.e. a
transport with a rating of 2 can carry 4 of these units)

Imperial Ratlings
Gretchen
Termagants

Any non-flyer vehicle with Transport (not Tunneller) may tow 1 "Towed
Artillery" piece. The artillery piece does not use one of the
transport slots, so a Rhino towing a "Support Weapon" my carry 2 units
of Space Marines. Flyers and Tunnellers carry all units internally so
each artillery piece uses 1 transport slot.

Towed Artillery:
Imperial Support Weapons
Ork "Big Gunz" (Not Pulsa Rocket)
Eldar Support Platform

Ork Big Gunz may be towed by Buggies (to include War Tracks).

Units that are classed as infantry but are not mounted 5 per stand each
use 1 transport slot per stand. (i.e. 2 Lictors fit in an Assault
Spawn.) See however "Big Fella's" rule.

The following non-infantry types may be transported using 2 slots per
unit transported
Dreadnoughts (all races)
Bikes (Imperial and Chaos)
