Random question just popped in to mind.

Let's say I have the Duke deploying with a unit of 4x TB. This unit also has a venom.

The TB's poisoned weapons become poisoned 3+. Would the venom's shots also become poisoned 3+? My thought process is that if you buy a splinter cannon or shard carbine for the TB, this becomes poisoned 3+. So purchasing a further addition / upgrade to the squad in the form of a venom would carry the same effect?

Reread Duke's rule you have to be part of the unit in order to benefit from the 3+.
Then reread transport/embarking rules.

I've lent my rulebook out so nothing to refer back to.

Guessing not then!
