Slippery and Targeting

[Defier93]

Are models with Slippery (Corvis Rook and Grave Goo) able to be targeted by non-melee actions from more than base contact? The ability reads as, 

"This model can ONLY be engaged by or TARGETED by "melee" Actions from enemy models in base contact with it."

I assume the intent is being able to not be engaged by models with 1" and 2" melee attacks, but it's not clear RAW. 

Emphasis on the words that cause confusion.

Cornish is not the same as Corvis lol

I'm sure the intent is that the models can be targeted by ranged attacks but if you target them with a melee attack you have to be in base to base, but the wording is a bit ambiguous

(there are a few models who can make melee attacks greater than 2" like Union Steamfitters)

hehe... Cornish Rook! Love it!

Can be targeted by non-melee attacks from any distance. The restriction is on melee attacks only.

Figured that was the case. Corvis has enough Concealing around him to avoid ranged attacks as is. The Goo wants a bit of damage to make use of his Regen, as well.
