Okay, here is the situation we didn't know how to deal with on our last game:

A Sorcerer of Chaos was part of a Plaguemarine unit and was charged by some pesky Genestealers and was in base contact with one of them and one other chose to attack him.
Does he, being part of the Plaguemarine unit, receive the benefits of the Blight Grenades?

Yes, as he is part of the unit when joined to it, and Defensive grenades state "Models assaulting against units equipped with defensive grenades". Note this is the inverse of the situation of Offensive Grenades, where only the models equipped with them may benefit, due to the wording being "Models equipped with assault grenades", rather than Units as in the case of Defensive grenades.

Thank you for the quick answer Gwar!
The opponent argued that the Sorcerer and the Plaguemarines each had their own combat.

In the end I didn't wanted to argue and gave him his two extra rolls. But now I know better for next time.

If the sorcerer hadn’t been attached to the PMs, your opponent would be right.
