    What Asuryan is saying is correct the FAQ the original poster is referencing is about psychic shooting attacks and how they would effect a flyer as Snap shots, not how would automatically generated effects impact a hard to hit flyer.

    The Blast Template of a Warp Storm is not generated as a shooting attack(unlike psychic attacks) thus the Zooming/Swooping Flyer does not gain Hard to Hit versus those attacks meaning they are not treated as Snap Shots additionally the Warp Storm like many environmental effect tables are not a weapon using a template, or blast marker so are additionally not excluded as such, meaning templates and Blast markers behave normally, a flyer that falls under the template is impacted as any other model. FYI a turn after roll for a scattering persistent Vortex effect would also be treated the same way, though not the turn it is fired(scatters at the start of a next player turn, thus not resolved as a shooting attack)

    Basically Zooming/Swooping immune to assaults, and shooting attacks without Skyfire are treated as Snap Shots, the rules for Snap Shots prevent Blast, Template or Beam style auto hit attacks from being available as Snap Shots. Additionally weapons with the Blast and Template in their profile cannot hit Swooping or Zooming. If its not a weapon and its not a shooting attack, its fair game.

    The FAQ clearly says that all attacks that auto-hit will not hit Flyers or FMCs. In addition to weapons and psychic attacks, this should include other effects such as:
    The Warp Storm Table
    The Lord of Lightning
    Explosions
    Special explosions such as the Tzeentch concussive Staff
    The Black Mace
    but the lord of the storm got a faq to say it does it fliers.

    Not 100% sure on what the tzeentch concussive staff rules are, but for all the others they effect the surroundings and do not target the units so they are not subject to the ruling of the OP's faq but are subjected to my first post's faq. so all of those auto hit and auto hit with snap shots.
