Are Hive Gaurd affected by the night fighting rules. Cause their impaler cannons say they can shoot at anything that is in range. Just wondering

They don't need LOS with their Impaler Cannons, so Nightfighting doesn't matter to them.

El yay!

Night Fighting has nothing to do with line of sight, and will affect Hive Guard as normal.

"If the distance between the firing unit and their target is higher than the distance rolled, the unit cannot fire at all in this Shooting phase, as they search the dark for a target that never appears."

It's not blocking line of sight, so the Impaler Cannons do nothing.

As above.

Nightfight /= LOS check. WHile you ignore LOS, you still need to rol high enough otherwise you may not shoot at all.

If it was anyone else other then Nids I would agree but since its Nids they still have to roll for night fight. Just like normally ICs can join a squad in a transport. Not Nids.
