I'm sure it's been asked before, but the search function isn't working, so I'll just ask: can Power of the Machine Spirit allow a Deathstrike Missile to fire on turn 1?

As I read it: No. The codex rule about not firing first turn overrules the PotMS ability to allow things to fire.

Agreed, May not fire on turn 1 is more specific.

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.

Deathstrikes can still be pretty good (and they have an Apoc formation!) but yeah, strictly for that combo is silly.

I am aware of the Deathstrike Vortex formation. It's the only time I field them.

Given they can now fire turn 2 on a 3+, theyre not that bad any longer...

To be more clear, the PotMS lets you fire one more weapon than normally permitted, No ordinary weapon precludes one from firing the weapon at all in the first turn.
A specific negative always overrides a nonspecific positive.

No, as you fire as if it were your own, which still doesn't override the specific rule about turn one.
