As I recall, Mystics work on deep strikers within 4d6 inches and LOS, right? As a Vendetta has no fire points, if a Mystic is embarked on one, they can't draw LOS to anything. Thus, the vendetta's scout move can't be used to extend Mystic range against a first turn drop.

Do I have that right?

The rules for mystics does'nt say anything about line of sight. Therefore you can scout move and extend the mystic range. But remember, if you do that odds are you wont have a plasmacutioneer/other nastiness within 12" to fire with.

As Sharik points out, there is no requirement for LOS for the Mystic ability to work. So you measure from the hull. And forget the vendetta. Just park them in their dedicated Land Raider transport in the middle of the IG army.....................

While that may be true, is there still the requirement that the firing unit has LoS?

The rules for the Mystic state that: 'Aside from this, the normal shooting rules apply.'

So yes, the firing unit still needs to have a LoS to the deepstriking unit.

So use the ability with a unit of Leman Russ Executioners and the enemy are in for a lot of hurt with a possible 15 plasma cannon shots heading their way!
