Could someone reference the page in the rules for the following two questions please?

1. Can a unit shoot at a transport then assault the unit inside the transport if the transport is destroyed?

2. Can a Farseer doom a unit that is in a transport if it is within 24''? If so, is the transport also doomed?

3. I remember reading that for weapons that scatter, the scatter can be modified by the BS. Is this up to the BS or max BS only? Example, BS 4 shoots - scatter 12" but want to modify it by 2" instead of 4".

Thanks!

Check under the dedicated transport rules, I think.

This won't be explicitly stated in the rulebook. Thing is that you can't target a unit that isn't on the board unless given permission to do so. This answer is no.

That and the transport is a separate unit so it would only affect one or the other, not both.

Subtract the ballistic skill. There is no range to choose from, this is a hard number. Rules as are you say under 'blast' weapons.

1. p67, just above the "Dedicated Transports" box.

2. No. Rulebook FAQ, p4, first question.

3. No, you must subtract the whole BS value. Rulebook, p30; note that it uses imperative language, so the player has no choice but to subtract the whole value.

1, yes you can. pg 67
2, yes as doom doesnt need line of sight. codex eldar psychic powers.
3, yup whole lot.

As Cheexsta already pointed out, psychic powers cannot target a unit in a transport unless the psyker is in the same transport.

please note, if unit A shoots a transport and fails to pop it, and unit B succeeds unit A may not assault the unit

Uh, you may not need line of sight, but you still can't use a psychic power on a unit that is embarked in a transport unless the Librarian is part of the embarked unit.

From the main rulebook FAQ to confirm:

Q: Can psychic powers be used on a unit embarked on
a transport? (p50)
A: For simplicity’s sake, the answer has to be a firm ‘No,
unless the psyker himself is in the unit being
transported’

3, yup whole lot.

Nope. You must subtract the full value as the rulebook tells you to. It doesn't allow you to subtract up to the value.
