Can Darkstriders unit benefit from his -1T ability if Darkstrider is out of range himself? My argument would be that as Darkstrider becomes part of a unit, he still "targets" enemy unit, but is out of range.

RB. pg. 12 isn't too clear about this: "Once you have chosen the unit that you want to shoot with, choose a target to shoot at. To do so you must check the range and line of sight from your unit to the unit you are targeting".

I would say yes, other guys benefit from Darkstriders ability, but would like to hear more opinions.

The whole unit targets at once and that targeting decision applies to everyone in it, so unless you're using some kind of split fire ability if any model in the unit is in range and firing at a valid target Darkstrider's bonus would apply.

Also, don't forget that Darkstrider has a markerlight with 36" range as well as the carbine.

Thanks, thats good
