So I think it's pretty clear that once you use the Strat, further enemy units can no longer target the unit if outside 12".
But what about the enemy unit that initially targeted the Nurgle unit to trigger the use of the Strat?
My thinking is that because the unit was eligible to be targeted initially, that enemy unit's attacks would still go through (but with Stealth activated) since you already selected the target BEFORE the Strat was activated.
Thoughts?

Not on my computer, but this is addressed in the Rules Commentary. Memory says the unit becomes an ineligible target and the attack must select a new target for their attack.

Thanx for that! I didn't think to check the Commentary.
What you are referring to is under "Eligible Target (no longer eligible)".
And as they become ineligible (outside 12"), the unit can no longer target the Nurgle unit.
It also goes further in stating the unit selecting targets may choose a different one, which is fair

I give GW props for getting lots of things covered in the Rules Commentary. They still missed things, but a lot is in there if you think to look.

Yeah I have it saved to my phone AND printed in a binder. There's just some things that don't "click" until you have a specific situation arise.
