Hopefully a simple question. The Techmarine's Blessing of the Omnissiah rules allows the techmarine to repair a vehicle it is in base contact with. However, if a vehicle is transporting a techmarine inside are you allowed to use the BOTO ability to repair the vehicle that is currently carrying the techmarine without him exiting the transport?

**Gwar!**

No, Embarked is not the same as Base Contact.

Alright, thanks for the clarification.

heh, they dont seem very usful at all compared to a big mek >.>, i thought the tech marines could fix while inside ... Big mek can, and then i find that if your marine repairs a weapon destroyed result it cant even fire in that shooting phase .... jeez, who woulda thought that some greenskin would be a better mechanic than a tech marine

But a Big Mek dosen't have four massive servo-arms for extra CC damage. He also cant take a squad of servitors for fire-support and to help repairs

**kill dem stunties**

yea, he takes a squad with 15 power weapons instead >.> lol

**Horst**

but can the big mek take an excellent long range weapon?

oh damn.

we fail.

A bit of off-topic, but I don't think that Techmarines are that good.
Master of Forges can be made good via Bike, hell many power fist attacks and a thunder hammer. Techmarines however...
