Does shield from harm work on the the transport the shadowseer is embarked in? Also does this stack if it does for a -2 on the starweaver?

Models in transports are treated as if they're not there, unless otherwise noted. Shield from Harm has no effect while the Shadowseer is embarked in a transport.

Special rules of models do not affect the transport they are in unless otherwise stated (see, for example, the Ork Kustom Force Field).

Where does it say the big meks kustom force field does that? Is it in the FAQ? Entire reason I ask is my buddy does this with it in his army and it doesn't say it in the rule book

Also, Shield From Harm affects Infantry (and maybe bikes?) only.

So it never works on a Starweaver.

Oddly enough, the rules for the Kustom Force Field in the Big Meks datasheet explains how it works while the Big Mek is embarked.

It says it on the Big Mek's Datasheet, found in the Index: Xenos 2.

It's the Shadowseer and Masque Infantry only.

Thanks. I'm AFB, so I wasn't sure if it hit bikes.

Also, I notice the OP asks if it stacks-it does not. The same ability does not stack with itself unless it specifically says it does.

well that's a bummer but -2 flying transports would be op anyway

So can I assume that altaioc and the rangers abilities don't stack either? It should as dragoons and stygies do. And as far as I'm aware there's nothing specifically saying they stack

The same ability doesn't stack.
Two abilities with the same effect (so -1 to hit in the case of alaitoc and rangers) do.

And just to be clear, the shadowseer's ability is -1 to wound, not to hit.

Wait so altaioc rangers are -2 to hit! What about their flyers? That seems op as hell

Their flyers also get an extra -1 to hit on top of any they may receive from other sources.

So how long till eldar kick imperial guard off its roost?
