Since a FMC can choose to make all of it's shooting attacks have the skyfire special rule that should include any of it's template weapons (a hive tyrant with e grubs for example). Does that means a swooping HT can use his Egrubs against a zooming flyer? It seems like it should. It's no longer a snap shot and snapshots is the reason why it cannot use templates against flyers to begin with. Whats the call Dakka?

Flyers have as part of there "Hard to Hit" rule that they can't be hit by blasts or templates at all, not just because of snap fire.

FMCs on the other hand do not have this in their "Hard to Hit" rule do if you could fire at at a swooping FMC with out snap firing you could shot at template or blast at it,

Side question. Tentaclids have the "seeking" special rule. What the hell does Seeking do? It's not in the nid dex or the brb as far as I can tell.

Seeking mean that you can re-roll misses agains flyers and/or FMC (swooping of course).
