I played agaisnt eldar today and we had two things we couldn't quite answer today.

First my friend had his farseer in a wave serpent and he was using guide and doom from inside it. i wasn't sure because he had a good point with the psychic rule that allows them to ignore line of sight but could his embarked psycer(sp?) cast doom/guide on units from inside.

The second question I had was when the mawloc deep strikes if the mishap blast hits a vehicle and the center is not over the vehicle hull, would that end up being the full 6 or 1/2 strength. We played it like a shooting attack and made it 1/2 but i wasn't sure about that either.

Thanks in advance

He can use psychic powers that do not requires LoS or a firing point. Specifically they need to state some variant of 'a unit within x inches'

I know guide is allowed, I am unsure on the wording for Doom.

Second question is a good one, I assume you mean the blast marker not the 'mishap.' I would play it as half strength.

He can cast any power that doesn't require LoS on a unit outside the vehicle, but not a unit in a DIFFERENT vehicle than his own.

So, he can cast Doom on an enemy unit outside, then cast Guide on his own unit in his serpent.

He CANNOT cast guide on those fire dragons in the wave serpent next to his.

You do not treat the mawloc as a shooting power - if you are touched by the large blast you take a S6 hit, overriding the normal rules.

Thanks guys, I think we'll probably just dice off on the mawloc in the future but even if its 1/2 str at least its still rear armor from a MC

The mawloc is not a blast attack, it just uses the marker to denote distance.

Thus there is no reason to half the strength.
