Battle brothers!

I have a few questions about some specific rules that I'm having a hard time tracking down. I have the 6th Edition right now. Mostly SW and GK.

Assault
-Can I shoot at one unit, but charge a different one in the assault round?
-If I fail to make the required distance in a charge, does the squad not move at all or do they just lumber forward that distance? E.g. I am 12" away form a unit, but only roll 9" to charge. Do they move forward 9" but fail to assault, or do they just remain where they are?

Dreadnaughts
-Can my Dread and Venerable Dreads fire all their weapons at different units? E.g. Fire my Assault Cannon at a group of Ork Boys, but my Lascannon at an Ork Dread?
-Can my Dreads use the Overwatch?

Psychic Powers
-If I take a wound from perils of the warp, do Invulnerable saves count? Moreover, I was thinking Rune Armor(5+ invulnerable save form Psychic) as that seems to be what it is designed for.
-ANYONE can try and block Psychic powers with a d6 roll of 6 right?

Answers are:

Assault:
1) P. 20, Right Column, last Graph, Bold Text.

2) P.22 Right Column Failed Charge Heading.

Dreadnoughts:
1) Dreadnoughts are units, keep that in mind and read P.13 Left Column, 1st graph 1st Bold text.

2) P.84 Left Column, Last Graph Bold Text

Psychic Powers:
1) P.67 Right Column, Perils of the Warp Section 2nd Bold Text.

2) Any enemy unit can try to deny the Witch.

1) No. Bottom of right hand column, page 20
2) They dont move at all. page 22, top right hand column "Failed charge"
3) No, as you shoot like infantry. If you feel you can you need to show a rule allowing it

4) Yes, bottom of Walkers, page 84, left hnd column
5) No. SPecifially states NO saves apply.
6) Yes, but ONLY psychic powers that TARGET the unit. If you buff yourself, or activate force weapons,you dont get to stop it - unless youre rune priests.

No, don't move, no only a single unit, yes, no saves allowed, yes.

Ninja'd rigeld, double

iFail. :-(

But in a good way

Great thanks all! Much appreciated.

No, as already said, you must charge the same unit you shot.

But I have a related question: what happens if the unit you shot is wiped out completely in the shooting phase? You still can't charge an another unit, right?

Correct. Which is why there is a caveat for units that shoot at a transport tht gets destroyed being able to assault the unit within.

Dreadnaughts
-Can my Dread and Venerable Dreads fire all their weapons at different units? E.g. Fire my Assault Cannon at a group of Ork Boys, but my Lascannon at an Ork Dread?

Not seeing where walkers can shooting at different targets in shooting phase? Or did you answer as it was two different units ?

-Can my Dreads use the Overwatch? Was Question 4

-Can my Dread and Venerable Dreads fire all their weapons at different units? E.g. Fire my Assault Cannon at a group of Ork Boys, but my Lascannon at an Ork Dread? was question 3

My bad, can't count
