The Necron Triarch Stalker has the ability that causes subsequent friendly units firing at the enemy units hit by the stalker to be firing as if twin-linked.

My question is this. If I bring a Vengeance Weapon Battery or Firestorm Redoubt fortification (both of which only have options for automated firing), would those be twin-linked as well if their designated targets are the same ones that are hit by the stalker earlier in the shooting phase?


The designation on the Stalker's ability is "Friendly Units" and it does not appear to be FAQ'ed to just say Friendly Necron Unit. So, put another way, are fortifications "friendly units"?

Fortifications arent units. They are terrain. So the stalker wouldnt affect their shooting.

Yes, as Mywik says, they're not units. The relevant text is on page 109:

Fortification:
This section of the Force Organisation chart represents
purpose-built, battlefield defences. They might not be things your army has constructed itself - it's more likely that they're emplacements that have been captured and secured just before the start of the battle.
Unlike units, fortifications are not found in codexes. Instead, you'll find a selection presented in this book (see page 114), whilst others will be presented in White Dwarf

(My emphasis)

No, it would not affect them just like it would not affect allies either.

It would affect allies if it does say "friendly units", or at least it would if the Necrons had any Battle Brothers.
