Can i pick my targets with 6´s if my tank is commanded by Pask?

I played Coteaz with WA's with Storm Bolters 184 points and Coteaz manning my quad gun/Lascannon behind ADL. i needed a unit to defend my Artillery as i run Mech and holding back boxes to defend was wasting utilization.

I used it mainly for defense against Demon Flamers/Screamers. against smart players who know what to watch out for he's good. against someone without experience he's phenomenal.
if you dont run blobs , he makes a good blob in and of himself. but remember he is 99% defense in that kind of setup.

I tend to look at the armies i'm going to be facing ( Cron air/Fateweaver Dogs/infiltrating Zerkers - Turkey Fliers/Tau Gunline/IG gunline/Drop Pod Marines) as what i need to list/tailor for. or what to expect at a local tournament. Since i play Mech (palsma vets and CCS, with Artillery and SW Drop pods w flamers) this is some advice i can give based on what i have seen.

along those lines, the armies that terrifies me the most are:

1. Tau gunline - better range, stronger shooting, DS capability that ignores cover and most of their heavy weapons tear through AV12 pretty easily. this is a hard matchup at best, can be murderous at worse.
2. Cron Air - in most situations (in vehicles) you can negate some of the fliers abilities ("Rhino" rushing up 18" + 12" into enemy territory doesn't give your opponet much room to deploy his planes.)
3. Fateweaver - if you can down his FMC the game is usually over, if not, good luck denying a gabillion DenyTheWitch rolls. one of the few times i prefer Hydra's over Vendetta's
4. Drop Pod Marines - deploy far enough up that when you get melta(d) and you will, your not running for the hills first turn (one of those times that exposeing your side armor to your opponet [i]might [/i]be better in order to get a few inches on deployment) surround artillery or expensive tanks with your dudes/Boxes to give cover save.
5. Infiltrating Zerkers, Flying Turkeys - Zerkers can be handled (just focus fire with melta or plasma) and Turkeys fall to Ven's or Hydra (Ven's are much better in this situation)
6. IG Gunline - flamers and Artillery negate this build pretty effectively.

Some of the armies that wither to this list:
GK (AP 2 x 14 AP 1 x 10 ) make short work of expensive Terminators.
SM (same as above)
Deldar (Boxes help out tremendously against poison weapons)
Orks (you outshoot and usually outnumber his guys)
Nids (MC get pummeled by AP1/2)

I ran into an allied detachment that used coteaz and henchmen psychers and they shot this s10 ap 1 large blast which was really nasty. cheap I believe.

I don't think he meant like a sniper, I believe he meant like sergeants and other characters currently can on a to hit roll of a 6.

"Khornate crazy dead ahead commander pask!"

"By the emperor! Fire!"

"Ahahha, now those imperial fools will surely perish! BLOOD FOR THE BLOO-*vanquisher shell screams into his skull, breaching his terminator armor, exploding out the back, and spraying his guts out for a good ten meters*"

"WHAT IN KHORNE'S NAME!?! RETREEEAAAAAAAATTTT!!!"

"Another day, another victory *lights cigar*."

I thought he'd want to get closer than 6" to use his sword.....

No because he's not a character. Be cool if he could though.

Im surprised they dont count pask as a character, on the note of pask if anyones willing to try it, pask with vanquisher, lascannon and plasma sponsons is a deadly combo. Basically pops transports or tanks at a distcance, if its a transport then following turn he pretty much will lay waste to the squad assuming the sponsons dont scatter to much. He also is resilient against monstrous creatures since he has rerolls to wound (will be nice for this new eldar threat).

Very expensive though!
