If a unit is "doomed" by a farseer, and causes a vehicle to explode, does the eldar player get to re-roll to see if the explosion wounds the unit?? Thanks in advance.

**nosferatu1001**

No, as that is not a wound caused by your shooting / close combat - it is a byproduct of it.

**BlueDagger**

Yes, you would actually reroll the wounds caused by this. The wording is "All hits" so hits from anything that wound get rerolled against that unit.

Only the second one was right

"All hits upon that unit gain a re-roll to wound until the start of the next Eldar turn." Nothing limits what the wounds come from.

**Nurglitch**

Yeah, the unit is definitely Doomed.

**nosferatu1001**

Yeah, trust me to forget it never specifies "Eldar" hits...damn Eldar book....

**Valkyrie**

The unit is Doomed...Doooomed...

**Gwar!**

Ok, I'll settle this once and for all.

The answer is "Yes, they are still Doomed". This is because Doom doesn't give two gaks about where the wounds come from, just that they get re-rolled.

**Norbu the Destroyer**

Thank you.

**usernamesareannoying**

hey, no problem.

**J.Black**

Just a minor point... You can't Doom a unit that is in a transport, you can only Doom the transport itself (which does nothing).

Given the way the 40k game mechanics work, the unit in the transport doesn't actually exist until they are called-upon to make an action by the player controlling them (dis-embarking, shooting from fire points, etc...), and are therefore untargetable.

**Cheex**

Although, you can Doom a unit that is next to a vehicle and then destroy the vehicle, maybe causing wounds on the Doomed unit.
