"Use this Stratagem in your Shooting phase, when a BLOOD AXES LOOTAS unit from your army is selected to shoot. Select one enemy VEHICLE unit. Until the end of the phase, each time a model in that LOOTAS unit makes an attack against that VEHICLE unit, you can re-roll the hit roll. If that LOOTAS unit contains 10 or fewer models, this Stratagem costs 1CP; otherwise, it costs 2CP."

Normally, units can't use stratagems from a transport because they're not technically on the field, but in this case the stratagem says select an enemy vehicle. So I'm curious.

Yiu can't use strats on a unit that's embarked. You're NOT doing so.

Not sure what selecting an enemy vehicle has to do with it, but no you can't choose a unit that's embarked.

You’re not applying a buff to the lootas as much as a debuff to the other unit, so I’d say it’s legal.

I agree. The target of the stratagem is the vehicle your debuffing. The lootaz can benefit from that fine, they just can't be selected as the target of a stratagem themselves or benefit from auras, etc.

"Stratagems cannot be used to affect units while they are embarked." Thus, the lootas cannot be affected by the part of the stratagem that gives them re-rolls.

Per the red above, you are using the Stratagem on the Lootas in question, which violate the rules for Open Topped Transports.
