Yesterday in a game, my opponent wanted to bring his Mawloc onto one of my units that was Invisible. After briefly considering the matter, and reading TftD and Invisibility and Snap Shooting, we decided that it would be legal, since it's not a shooting attack.

1) Was this the right call?

2) The Mawloc blast generates hits: which section of the rules do we reference to resolve the wounding process? Shooting? Assault? And if Shooting, does that actually prevent the Mawloc from targeting Invisible units?

i would say that it was the right call. The Mawloc is simply deep striking...and then the special rules kicks in....Terror From the Deep...which says that the Mawloc chooses to deep strike onto an enemy model and becomes a blast template...like the OP said it isn't a shooting attack and I would think its the right call.

The deep strike doesn't target anything, you can deep strike on or off models so yeah you can do it.

Yeah I would say that was the right call also.

2) as the mawloc never targets anything, you cannot evoke a rule to do with targeting.
