Tank Shock
A tank, tank shocks a unit that has a Lascannon or similarly damaging weapon within it. The model is granted an automatic hit per the rules. Can the Tank be granted a cover save through use of a Kustom Force Field or similar piece of wargear?

Shooting from transports
Can a Vehicle and it's occupants shoot at diferent targets?

Are Imperial Guard and Witchhunter etc as broken as they seem?
Large Imperial combined squad and an Inquisitor Lord? with Null rod granting the entire combined squad immunity from Psychic powers?... Cosher?

A) Yes against ranged weapons no against CC weapons

A)Yes

A) The Null rod is DH not WH, It dose however block all psychic attacks (friend or foe). Inquisitor lords must have a retinue so can't join another unit till they are dead. You can how ever give it to a (elite) Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and join it to a unit.

1. If you opt to use a ranged weapon for a Death or Glory attack the vehicle can still claim any valid cover saves such as the KFF. If it was a melee attack you could not take the cover save.

2. Yes, there is no reason for them not to be able to, so you follow the standard rules for firing from a vehicle allowing you to target whatever unit you wish. This is also supported by the Core Rulebook FAQ.

3. This seems to be totally valid, I really don't think being able to protect a large unit of stock guardsmen from psychic powers is that overpowered.

Re the KFF, isn't there something about shooting attacks within 6" ignore the KFF? Or is that rule gone?

Ya that rule is gone.

I'd like to add that the model with the lascannon can only fire it it is actually in the path of the tank shock. If it is not, and you are only tank shocking 2 small tac marines there is no worries.

By "one of the models in the vehicle's path" (quoted from the rulebook), GW means "any member of a squad in it's path". This is because even if only one member of the squad is hit by the tank, th WHOLE squad it tank shocked, or "in the vehicle's path." Thusly, any member of the squad has the option of Death or Glory.

Actually, no it doesn't. Only the actual models in the path may DoG.

I think that this is one of the moments that GW needs to be clearer.

I'd call GW and ask, but they like to give different answers each time you call.

Nope, sorry. The squad is Tank Shocked, but only those models actually in the vehicle's path may DoG.

One question on all this -

If you allow the vehicle a cover save from a death or glory shooting attack, would a piece of wargear like Flechette Dischargers (sp?) work on a model that is making a close combat attack?
