Just to update this thread that the engine War FAQ creates a special snowflake ruleing for tech marine gunners stateing that they dont count as auras for the purpose of this strategem.

Nicelly highlighting that one was needed

However being GW Mek Gunz do not get a special snowflake ruleing despite the same wording. nor do other similar negative auras such as mindlock.

It's a moot point since 9th edition now explicitly spells out what is and isn't an aura. Until things get updated, the stratagem now only works on things specifically stated to be Auras.
