I read somewhere that a warlock may join a support weapon and be the firing model in said unit, could a Farseer do the same thing?
Where did the idea that a Warlock can fire a vibrocannon come from? I must have missed it in my Codex.
If this were legal than i would have a BS 5 Vibrocannon and be able to doom the nearest bad guys since neither requires LoS I could do this really well.
Also I've always assumed that a vibrocannon hitting my own units/vehicles would damage them but i dont know where it might actually say so.

From the BRB, "Sometimes the player has the choice of adding leaders or additional models to the crew of an artillery unit. These models are part of the crew in all respects and may operate the guns as normal, even if they are otherwise slightly different from the rest of the crew. Independent characters that join the unit, however, do not count as crew and cannot operate the guns."

The rules for it clearly state "Any unit which the line passes through suffers D6 hits" this literally means ANY unit, including friendly ones, even potentially those locked in combat although they could not be the target of the shooting.
