This was answered some time ago on the net, answers officially from GW. The
invisibility card is played after the opponent nominates the targets but before
the dice are rolled. Once played the designated shots by the opponent to that
unit that is now invisible ARE LOST, the opponent MAY NOT pick another target.

The vortex card works EXACTLY the same as the vortex missile ,except for its
range (limited to 25cm) and the stand doesn't need to be on first fire orders
like a titan with a vortex missile.

Disagree, I own ALL Q&A from ALL sources, internet and WD and reavers CAN NOT
use the larger plasma weapons. That is why they made the blastgun for the
warhound and reaver to use. Tables in the SM battles book page 9 and the reaver
template in the TL codex page 23 both DO NOT include it as a legitimate
selection. I have no doubt that pictures may exist showing a reaver with such a
weapon, but that it hardly acceptable as a ruling. So whomever "discovered"
that, better cough up some references.
