being within a box of adamentium and forged steel helps with combating the anathema that is the Warp.

same logic whereby Wizards in fantesy can't normally wear armor.

Going by that reasoning then Tau should be immune (at least partially) to psyker powers since they barely register in the warp to begin with...and aren't all the shooting powers affective vs. vehicle and bodies alike?

Meh. Like I said, I know it doesn't mean anything and it doesn't have to make sense this being a game and all; it just struck me as funny is all.

When you pop a Tau's head with telekinesis or fry him with Warp-lightning, you're using energy drawn from the Warp to induce a very real physical phenomenon. In the case of the Crucible, you're releasing tortured psyker souls and creating an entirely psychic phenomenon. Perhaps the echoes of torment bounce off the machine's hull?

As a person who plays the army that wields the item in question, even though it may be raw, I don't think I could bring myself to remove a transport and it's contents from the game. In a tournament, yes, but in the other 99% of the games I play? Nah.

Ok, I could actually see that. Thanks for playing.

That's how Large Ord blasts used to work you know.

Yeah? I don't see the correlation between the two. What edition are you talking about anyway?

If a vehicle was hit by ordinance and exploded, the passangers were removed.

normally, only a Vehicle Annhilated result would kill the passangers.
