Okay ... I understand your confusion but I was making a comparison to Magic: The Gathering, hence "Magic" being capitalized in my last post. They both have rules called Shroud(technically Shrouded in 40K). I was merely mentioning that I've seen this type of argument in other games and until there is an FAQ, it will continue. It took the creators of Magic going back and amending a lot of cards to solve their issue. Fortunately, GW just needs to FAQ Imotekh here.
Now that Shrouded has been brought into it though, I do have a question. It's a bit of a re-hash I'm sure, but at what distance is the Lightning considered to originate from? It's occuring during Night Fighting and distance matters in Night Fighting now, in terms of gratning cover. Surely it's not counted as originating from Imotekh, otherwise it could not hit models more than 36" from him at all. But do those hit get Stealth or Shrouded?
