I recently had a game where my opponents were shooting at my slayer unit.

However, planted next to a building, only 1/4 of my slayer unit was visible to the shooting army.

Somehow, my opponent rolled great, did enough wounds to take more than half of my unit.

What is the ruling on the casualty?

Do I lose only 1/4 since the rest 3/4 aren't visible to be shot?

Or do I still lose as many wounds as I suffer regardless of visibility?

Thank you.

In WH the rules are simpler. If the firing model/s can see ANYONE in the unit, they're eligible to kill every last one of them.

This is fair because to charge, only one model in the unit needs to have LOS to the unit they're charging.

That said, this is assessed when you check LOS for each given firing unit. So if you have a skirmishing unit with one model poking around the corner of a building, and your opponent shoots at them with one unit and kills a model, you could select that visible model. Which might prevent your opponent's next shooting unit from having a target.
