I love techmarines and tech priests but outside of thunderfire operators or conversion beamer motorcycle enthusiasts they aren't very useful. I think it would be interesting orf Imperial tanks, especially SM, could be repaired from a wrecked result, but not an exploded result. The repaired vehicle would have one hull point and whatever weapons were still working when it was knocked out.

I think it would make the maligned SM armor a bit better and more comparable to the current tank kings of Eldar and Tau. Plus it would give techmarines an indirect boost and I like it thematically that you have to focus fire and detonate a tank to make sure it's down for the count.

Thoughts?

I think it could be a potential thing to let him bring it back with 1 HP, already immobilised. that way it's as if he got th weapon systems back online to use them at first. if it survives a subsequent turn or there's another techmarine there, you can fix the immobilised and start racking on HP again. I think this would be really awesome (and bigmeks should get it too).

Yes, that's a good suggestion, I like it. I think giving it to orks is a good idea too, it fits both of the two factions.

I wish I could help out the DE vehicles but this isn't a good fit for them. I think that if they didn't give up KP when they got wasted they would be OK.

I love it. Enhances the use of mechanic abilities that are often considered overpriced.

Give it to Techmarines, MOTF, Warpsmith and Big Mek. Possibly Techpriests and Mekboyz though that may be OTT.

Since the first time i've read repair rules i wondered: "Why can't they fix wrecks!?".

Like the changes. It makes perfect sence especially for orkses. All our vehicles are moving wrecks from the start anywayz.

Though, should think of nuances. Will a vehicle be able to shoot the turn it gets fixed? Maybe should limit it to snapshots.
