So in a Wood Elf army I'm working on I have two seperate weapons that can target specific models inside a unit. In the new BRB discription of warmachines it says that when they are shot at you always take the toughness of the warmachine and not it's crew.

does this mean that I can no longer pick off crewmembers at low toughness?

Yep, you cannot hit the warmachine crew seperately to the war machine when shooting.

my skinks <3 warmachines!!!

So do mine - killed both bolt throwers (DE) in one turn yesterday, 5 chameleons and 10 normals...after sending a poweredup amber spear thrugh the Cauldron

So even my Hunter's Talon Bow that specifically reads:
"wielder of this longbow may target any model it can see (including a character that could normally not be targeted because it is in a unit or not the closest target) ... target cannot benefit from the 'Look out, sir!' rule."
will still hit the damn war machine instead of it's crew?
that's kinda bull IMHO

Same with Monsters and Handlers. The Handlers are just there for markers and can not be targeted or measured to or anything like that.

In other words, your bow which has the "sniper" rule now.

No, you CANNOT shoot the crew on their toughness; it states explicitly that shooting is against the toughness of the warmachine.

the crew have zero purpose in the game except as wound markers. just imagine there not there
