Can you target an enemy unit with a blast template if the blast template overlaps some of your friendly models? I know you are not allowed to target your own units, but if some of your own models happen to be underneath the template is this permitted? Or is this considered 'targeting' your own units?

Example:
A unit of Gretchin is standing near a Necron C'tan Shard (and shaking in their boots). A Big Mek with a Shokk Attack Gun targets the C'tan Shard with a large blast template, which overlaps a few models from the Gretchin unit. Is this shot allowed, or not allowed?

Unfortunatly your not allowed to place the template if any friendly base or hull is under it pg 158 blast . Its a shame coz im sure those gretchin wouldnt mind or rather the mek wouldnt mind frying them

The blast rules are very clear that now you can't overlap friendly models

The only armies which are allowed to do this are R&H with Ordanance Tyrant and (I think) something in the IG codex allows you to fire artillery at your own units.

Inquisitor Karamazov can do it too.

Ah yes, I see the relevant mention about friendly models under the Blast rule entry. Sorry folks, I don't get to play very often these days, I glossed over that part. Thanks for the quick responses!

No worrys glad we could help

Well, if the C'tan would even bother attacking the gretchins, the ork player already got the upper hand that turn
