Here's a silly question why is that on Page 11 of the CRB "Turning and Facing" heading it states that during the movement phase "As you move the models in a unit, they can turn to face in any direction, without affecting the distance they are able to cover. Infantry models can also be turned to face their targets in the shooting phase,..." and on page 72 under Walkers Shooting it states that the pivoting that walkers may do in the Shooting Phase ".....represents the vastly superior agility of walkers in comparison with other vehicles." ,furthermore on page 57 under Vehicles and Movement last paragraph sais "...so a vehicle that only pivots in the Movement phase count as stationary..." . Did I miss something? Because almost every time I've gone to a game store in the last year or two ,I see people pivot vehicles in the Shooting phase ,if the intended target was killed by another unit or they just for got to face in the correct direction in the Movement phase. Now I realise that the Book sais "...so a vehicle that only pivots in the Movement phase count as stationary..." but thats in the Movement phase not the shooting phase.

So did I miss a rule or what?

No, walkers may freely pivot in the shooting phase when shooting, normal vehicles must do all of their pivoting in the movement phase. You didn't miss anything.

What you missed is that this was a change between 4th and 5th - in 4th you could have a free pivot in the shooting phase, now you *must* do it in the movement phase, as you state.

Thats what I thought just wanted to know if I'd missed something ,I've had this rules dicussion many times so my citations cover it all then.thanks
