| Yesterday we had a situation where Techmarine was attached to a squad that wanted to shoot my units while techmarine decided not to shoot but repair a immobilized tank instead.
Is it possible?
The rule speaks of "in stead of shooting his weapons the model with rule may attempt to repair..."
Thats two "targets" for one squad in same shooting phase. I still might be wrong about this. _________________ New Dark Eldar in Tournaments: Wins: 17 Draws: 2 Losses: 8 ETC 2013 DE/Eldar player (4th) ETC 2014 Coach (16th) ETC 2015 Captain, Eldar/DE (10th) Painting blog

| Thats what I thought too but wording only speaks of "His" weapons. Anyone with real insight on this? @Count Adhemar _________________ New Dark Eldar in Tournaments: Wins: 17 Draws: 2 Losses: 8 ETC 2013 DE/Eldar player (4th) ETC 2014 Coach (16th) ETC 2015 Captain, Eldar/DE (10th) Painting blog

| Apparently he can always repair at the sacrifice of shooting _________________ "I'm alive from this pain!"

| Will look into this when I get to work. Right, the rule says: - Quote :
- Blessing of the Omnissiah: In each of your Shooting phases, instead of firing his weapons, a Techmarine can choose to repair a single friendly vehicle that he is in base contact with or embarked upon...
Shooting rules say: - Quote :
- A player can choose not to fire with certain models if he prefers. This must be declared before rolling To Hit.
I don't see anything in the rules that would prevent you from shooting with certain members of the unit whilst the Techmarine uses his ability instead of shooting his own weapon. There doesn't seem to be any conflict between the rules and nothing to suggest that you forfeit the entire unit's shooting attacks if the Techmarine uses his ability. I don't see any merit in the argument that it's two different targets. The shooting rules say: - Quote :
- Once you have chosen the unit that you want to shoot with, choose a single enemy unit for them to shoot at.
You are still doing this and the BotO ability does not alter this in any way as the Techmarine is using an ability on a friendly unit that could not be targeted by the unit. _________________ You have been weighed, you have been measured, and you have been found wanting.
