  WARHAMMER 40,000 – CODEX SUPPLEMENT: SALAMANDERS
  CODEX SUPPLEMENT: SALAMANDERS
  Indomitus Version 1.1
  These documents collect amendments to the rules and present 
  our responses to players’ frequently asked questions. Often 
  these amendments are updates necessitated by new releases or 
  community feedback; these can be identified by the presence 
  of an asterisk before the page reference. At other times, these 
  amendments are errata designed to correct mistakes or add 
  clarity to a rule that is not as clear as it might be. 
  As they’re revised regularly, each of these documents has a 
  version number; where a version number has a letter, e.g. 1.1a, 
  this means it has had a local amendment, only in that language, 
  to clarify a translation issue or other minor correction. When 
  a document is revised, the version number will be incremented 
  and new updates will be highlighted in blue, while new errata 
  and FAQs will be highlighted in magenta.
  DESIGNER’S NOTES
  CODEX SPACE MARINES – SUPPLEMENT UPDATES
  With the release of the 2020 edition of Codex: Space Marines, it 
  is necessary to update the Codex supplements that were written 
  to work alongside its predecessor. These updates ensure that the 
  rules presented in this supplement work smoothly and ‘as intended’ 
  with the latest Codex. They involve such things as adding the Core 
  keyword in the appropriate places and attaching appropriate labels 
  and categories to psychic powers and Stratagems. They also include 
  updating certain weapon profiles to match changes in Codex: Space 
  Marines, and readjusting certain other rules to take into account 
  their altered efficacy when used in conjunction with the new units 
  and rules presented in Codex: Space Marines.

  phase, your opponent cannot target the second unit you selected 
  unless that unit is the closest enemy unit to the firing model and 
  visible to it, or it is no longer wholly within 6" of the first unit 
  you selected. In addition, until the end of the phase, the first 
  unit you selected is always an eligible target for enemy shooting 
  attacks provided it is within range and is visible to the firing

  any rules that would prevent it from being targeted, such as the
