For intents and purposes we'll Assume it's a Lord Of Change with Bolt of Tzeentch, and Gaze.

Being a FMC he may either swoop or glide.
If swooping if he flies over a unit he may Vector strike and fire one weapon in the following shooting phase.
In the BRB FAQ it states they have Skyfire

Now if swooping does the FMC need to fire snapshots to hit normal ground units?
I would assume so beings FMC's do not have the same exception that I see in the Flyers section.

and now I see that they may choose to use it ... need to print out the faq's something fierce.

Not sure I'm understanding your question but just as flyers you must declare if the FMC is going to shoot skyfire or normal shots. If you choose skyfire yes it needs snapshots to shoot at ground units, if you chose not to skyfire you shoot at them normally

Yea, when I read the FAQ originally I only read they gain skyfire.

so my Tz lord of Change with We are Legion can shoot Bolt at the flyer using skyfire rules and then drop a template on the marines in the bush next to him?

If the same DP flys over the flyer, can he vector strike with his armorbane rules and other special rules for FMC?

I think template weapons/blasts can't snapfire... so he couldn't

Not sure thou... need to check my BRB

Yeah, they can't snapfire, but the WALegion rule says you can target a differnt unit

skyfire for FMC if good though.

If you choose skyfire, you have it for the entire shooting phase, and can only target ground units with snapshots for that shooting phase.

So your saying that kairos can not gaze infantry at bs5 and shoot a bolt at a flyer at bs5 in the same shooting faze??

Where is this stated I cant seem to find it.

THanks!

It is in the skyfire rules for fliers. You choose skyfire (hit fliers as normal, but snap fire all others.) or regular (the opposite), then resolve all shots as such for that phase.

As for vector strike it is S as user AP 3 with no special rules added. (no smash, armor bane etc.)
