I am kinda new to using the witchhunter acts of faith...

I was curious if using divine guidance on a squad of sisters inside a immolator transport infers the benefit to the vehicles weapon as it is part of "the entire unit"

I have not tried doing this, but the idea dawned on me today for some reason, and after rrules review I can't see a reason why it would not result in ap1 immolator spam

a transport vehilce is not part of the unit it is transporting, this can be seen repeatedly throughout the rules but I don't have my rulebook so I will have to go with something I am confident about.

If the vehicle was part of the unit, given the fact a unit has to be either entirely embarked or entirely not-embarked, the transport would have to embark into itself.

Not to mention the fact the transport is not Faithful, so if it was part of the unit the unit itself could not use an AoF.

Not to mention that if the transport was part of the unit, you would be forced to remain in coherency with it all game...

What a bummer that would be if you got an immobilized result.

Nah, that wouldn't be too bad. Vehicles in a squadron are destroyed on an immobilized result. And, I can only assume a vehicle that's part of an infantry squad would obey the same rules as vehicles in a squadron.

Why? It's an infantry squad, not a vehicle squadron.

This was the part that made me raise the question in the first part... an immolator is crewed by sisters, not admechs or other heathans.

Crew means exactly nothing.

Does the vehicle have the "Faithful" special rule? No. So it can't benefit from Acts of Faith.

Furthermore, the vehicle isn't even part of the unit using the Act of Faith, so even if it WAS Faithful, it couldn't use the Act anyway.

So, bottom line, no.

So? It could be crewed by Saint Celestine herself, unless it had the "Faithful" or the "Adepta Soritatas" rule, it doesn't benefit from Acts of Faith.

Okie dokie, I guess that solves that then...

Side point, I beleive its a-ok to use an act of faith on an embarked unit and fire there ap1 heavy flamer out of the fire point? Right?

Yes it's OK to use an act of faith on an embarked faithful unit. However you seem to be laboring under a misconception. The act of faith that you are referring to only makes a roll of "6" on the wounding into an AP1 wound regardless of the weapon used. All other wounds are normal for the weapon.

Vehicles are not faithful.
