I'd like to make sure I understand this correctly: Unit fires at enemy unit with a mix of weapons with range bands between 18"-30". So long as the 18" weapons had a target in range at the start of your shooting, they can kill enemy squad members outside of their actual range, because the 30" weapons extend their kill radius. Is this correct?

I know there are FAQs that seem to address this, but they seem poorly worded (which considering its GW, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.) Can anyone provide a clear definitive answer?

Drones and a Battlesuit commander (drones: 18", Commander: 30") fire at some ork boyz. Only 1 boy is within 18", the rest within 30". Can the spill over from the drones kill more then one guy?

If this was posted recently, sue me. I checked, didn't see any. Please don't PM me saying I'm stupid for asking, that was uncalled for.

I apologize in advance if this starts some big ruckus, I'm just unclear on the rule.

Step 1: All weapons that are in range of at least one model get to fire.

Step 2: All enemy models that are in range of at least one weapon are a valid target.

Step 3: Roll to hit/wound/save with those shooters and targets.

So in your example, yes, shots from any model in the unit can inflict wounds against anything within 30".

So long as the 18" weapons are in range when you roll to hit then just keep doing the shooting as normal. The 30" weapons do effectively extend the kill range of the 18" weapons.

Thanks so much for the responses. Glad I was right.

Similar situation that happened yesterday.

My opponent (IG) shots with his Leman Russ Demolisher. He placed the large blast template (range 24") over an assault marine. The blast was also covering one of my allied Eldar Jetbike. As the declared target of the blast and the shooting is assault squad, he procedes to shoot 1 lascannon (48") on the assault marines.

The Jetbike Guardian was about 25" away from the tank. Should he take a wound and try a jink save?

Blast weapons have explicit permission to wound out of range.

Precisly. But that's a good example, I think.
