Hello all,I needed some help clarifying whether or not a Techmarine Gunner counted as a Techmarine for the purpose of the Sacristan Forgeshrine's ritual of repairing ability.Since I remember a while back when looking up rules that the Techmarine Gunner didn't act the same as a regular Techmarine in regards to bringing along Servitors.

Am I correct in assuming that because it's keyword says "Techmarine Gunner" and not "Techmarine" that it would not be able to use that ability of the Forgeshrine,or are there any rules regarding this that I might have missed?

Edit:To avoid any confusion,the Techmarine Gunner is the one that goes with the Thunderfire Cannon.

From page 101 of Codex Imperial Knights:

The vehicle regains D3 lost wounds. If there is a TECH-PRIEST or TECHMARINE from your army on the Sacristan Forgeshrine...

Note that the rule is looking for specific keywords (since the words are in keyword bold). If the Techmarine Gunner has either of those specific keywords, then the answer is yes. If he has neither of those specific keywords, then the answer is no.

Thanks much for the help.

Checked again to be sure and the bolded keywords for the Techmarine Gunner are only Infantry,Character,and Gunner.So it seems it sadly does not count for that ability.Changes some plans I had somewhat,but the help getting it sorted is greatly appreciated.
