Title pretty much says it. Can the NSJ be used to make vehicle weapons overheat if they are within 12"? If yes, then if NSJ is used on a squadron of vehicles (for example, 3 LR Punishers) do all vehicles gain the Gets Hot rule?

Are vehicles units?

And are squadrons units?

Hint: page 76, 3rd sentence.

As I don't know the language of the NSJ rule, you might look at the "Shooting at Squadrons" section to see if it comes into play.

Unless the rule says non-vehicle weapons, it would affect vehicles as well as they are still considered a model/unit. Vehicles can have the Gets Hot! rule, its just not as lethal in most situations since its a 50-50 chance to auto-glance.

The only way a rule wouldnt affect vehicles without specifying it doesnt would be if it caused an effect vehicles dont get hit by anyway, such as leadership stuff or toughness stuff.

I can't wait to use this on Dakka Banner Crusader.

I used it on a venom once it was hilarious.

Ok, and what exactly constitutes a "unit" when using the NSJ? To use the Venom example, would it affect both the Venom AND the passengers firing, or would I have to choose?

@HoverBoy

You think that's hilarious, try a 50-man guard blob.

The BRB is very clear on what a single unit is. A transport vehicle is a unit, and an embarked unit is a seperate unit as well
