Does a unit of Guardians with a Scatter Laser (or other artillery piece) benefit from the Artillery rules on page 46?

That is, does the guardian unit become Majority T7? I can't find something that specifically identifies a unit as "Artillery", I'm not sure if there's another example that would fit this grey area either.

I'd guess "No" but I can't find a RAW example to back that up.

Artillery is a unit type - Thunderfire Cannon for example.

Guardians are Infantry, not Artillery.

Only units with the type "Artillery" in the back of the BRB benefit from the Artillery rules. Guardian Defender and Storm squads are infantry and so do not benefit from the "Shooting at Artillery" rules. The weapons platform is ignored when determing what type of unit the Guardian squad is.

Nice try!
