repair vs heal?

[Guest]

Noticed that the Dwarf Engineer "repairs" warmachines, while every other model I've seen would heal models.

 

Are the terms interchangeable, or is there a more specific rule somewhere? Like, in example, do war machines get repaired instead of being healed?

In this case "repair" does equal heal.Though I think in other armies it has been listed as just "heals one wound" to the warmachine.Interesting too as when a warmachine takes damage from combat or shooting the owner of the machine and crew get to choose were each wound goes,that being either crew or machine.Having the Engi nearby would certainly favor assigning wounds to the machine as opposed to the crew.However keep in mind that once wounds have been assigned to a model in the unit,they must continue being assigned to that model until its dead.

The Steamtank also has a rule which has it repair wounds.

 

Anyway, thanks, just wanted to be sure/clear.
