Hi all, still a bit new to understanding the game, used to play 5th edition with Wolves back in the day, and picking them up again with this awesome 8th edition codex.

I was reviewing the strategems and found Cloaked by the Storm. Looking also at Tempest's Wrath, if I manifest it and then use the strategem, it seems like both could be active at the same time and stack for a total of -2 to a units ranged hit rolls, assuming the unit I choose shoots a unit of mine within 6". Am I understanding that correctly?

Yes, you've got it right, they can stack.

Thank you!

technically, its not a stack since the psychic power is cast on an enemy unit and the strat on friendly units but semantics.. but yes, if the enemy unit that was affected by the power shot at a friendly unit affected by the strat then they would be at -2 to hit

..also having a rhino that pops smoke could be at -3 to hit, crazy stuff

More generally, unless the rule explicitly says otherwise (e.g. Venomthropes Shrouding Spores and Carnifex Spore Cysts), modifiers from different rules are cumulative.

The vast majority of rules are written in such a way that they aren't cumulative with themselves (e.g. a Painboy'z Doc's Tools) but I could have sworn there was an FAQ that said they are not cumulative with the same rule even if they say they are, but as due to the usual the jumbled mess of FAQs I can't find it.

Don’t exaggerate so...

Q: Lots of aura abilities say they grant an ability to nearby
units that are within range of any such models. Are the bonuses cumulative (i.e. if I am within range of two models with identical aura abilities, is the bonus doubled)?
A: Unless stated otherwise, no. The bonus for such an ability applies once if any (i.e. one or more) of these models are within range.

Rulebook FAQ (logical), Unit and Weapon Abilities (also logical). I’m not remotely claiming things are always obvious but you didn’t even try here.
