1. For theC'tan and vault, I seen some people just picking their powers but in the book it states i have to roll a d6 too see which ones they have, use them all once then i can use them all a 2nd time or can i just pick which ones i want?

2. this is old but i ran a gauss pylon and I just need to clarify that it hits units without fly keyword at -1 so a 3 at full wounds and with fly would it auto hit, or hit on a 1, or stay at 2?

3. Can time arrow hit character units?

1) if you pick and choose, you can't pick a power twice before every power has been selected once. This is only an issue of you have more than 1 CTan/Tvault

2) 1 is always a miss, so 2 to hit a Fly, 3 for a nonfly

3) yes

Edit: 1) cont. if you have three CTans you could pick powers for the two first, then roll for the third instead of force pick the two last, likely suboptimal powers

1. Read again, its says you can choose the powers.
2. Yes, it hits non FLY on 3+ and FLY units on 1+ at full wounds. But there is no autohit, a hit roll of 1 always fails.
3. Yes.

Ok so I can choose which powers I want but I can't use them again till all others have been used once, and a friend I was playing with said time arrow was faqed, I just took his word for it but where is the site with a the official changes.

Also I forgot one, when the pylon is in cc cab it shoot into the units it's in cc as well as other units on the board that are not in cc?

Read the core rules about shooting at enemy units within 1".

Yes I know, but the pylon has its own rules on that matter and the couple times I used it I had to fight over them because of other people's interpretations.

The pylons version of the Immobile rule allows it to shoot when enemies are within 1" and enemy units within 1" can be shot at, thus the Pylon can shoot at units that are within 1" of it.

Compare the Pylon's rule with that of the Tyranid Sporocyst, which allows it to shoot if enemies are within 1", but the enemies that are within 1" of it still can't be shot at.
