The thought is to use gaunt to shoot n try wound my warlord flyrant to activate his (half damage item)before the enemy gets to shoot him to pieces on his shooting round...can i?

As soon as I know, no.

Would be fluffy If Tiranids could, likes in one AVP film where the Aliens hurted the Queen so thst she could be free.

Friendly units aren't valid targets. We only have rules for targeting enemy units.

You cannot target them normally their are a few units with exceptions

E.g. Cyclops demolition vehicle detonates and makes a shooting attack vs every target friend or foe within range

I don't know much about Tyranids, but do they have perils of the warp on psychic tests? Could you reroll on that to cause mortal wounds on your own unit?

Can you only reroll failed dice, or can you just reroll anything you want with CP?

Unless stated by the rule, you can re-roll successful dice rolls.

You can't shoot yourself unless your Regimental Doctrine allows you to, so that half damage requirement is a tricky thing to get off. Best suggestion is to try and use the table to control how much you get hit.
Or you could just try to perils yourself there... seems like a risky way to play though...

If I was your opponent, HIWPI is to gleefully allownyou to shoot your own units, particularly one with such high T/Sv, as you’d not be killing my stuff and helping me kill yours.

@SIKIMIKA:

If you and I play against each other I would let you target your own units. Bwahahahahah.

you have to loose a save to activate the thingy...so no perils of the warp cause i dont get saves from mortal wounds....only shooting!!!
