Can Corvus Blackstars bomb units engaged in melee?

[Styx666]

"This model can fire its Blackstar cluster launcher as it flies over enemy units in its Movement phase. To do so, after this model has moved, pick one enemy unit that it flew over. Then roll one D6 for each model in the enemy unit (up to a maximum of 10 D6). Each time you roll a 6 the unit being bombed suffers 1 mortal wound."


Can it target a unit in melee with another unit?

Yes. As it's not the shooting phase.

More specifically, this isn't a shooting attack, it is a special ability which states explicitly how the target is chosen (much like smite, for instance). And the target selection rules are rather straightforward : "one enemy unit that it flew over". As nothing further is specified there is no reason to apply a limitations to units that would be less than 1" away from friendly units.

Great!
