So from my understanding is that I should always put 1 or 2 mekboys with burna boys.

Say I am with in flamer range, but only 4 out of 10 models can be hit by my flamers. But the other 6 is in range of my mega blastas.

I do 20 wounds with flamers, 0 with the mega blastas. The entire 10 man unit can be killed if it fails enough saves, even though only 4 can actually be hit by the flamer template (since they are all withing the 24 inch range of the mega blastas) ??

Correct.

That is correct.

Only the enemy models that were not within range any of the shooting models when To Hit rolls were made are exempt from wound allocation.

If all 10 models were in range of the mega blastas, when To Hit rolls were made, then all 10 models can be allocated wounds.

Pretty much.

This is about as logical as 5th...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I just wanted to make sure I understand this since I've been away from the hobby, and I didn't want to create another thread.

Lets say I had 5 wraithguards that want to shoot at 4 space marines. The 5 shots of the 12in range of the wraithcannon only reaches up to 3 out of the 4 marines but they cause 4 wounds, does that mean only 3 will die because that's all that are in range, and that 4th wound is disregarded?

Another situation with D-scythes. 5 wraithguard with d-scythes come up on a unit of 10 guardsmen. The flame template reaches the front 4 but causes 8 wounds. So again, would that mean only the front 4 will die and the remaining 4 wounds get disregarded? Or do these wounds carry out through the targeted squad even though they are not in range?

I know it's been discussed before but just wasn't sure about this situation. Thanks again

You may only allocate wounds in range of weapons that shot. In both case only short ranged weapons (template or 12" ) were shot, so that's the maximal range of allocation. So 3 wounds in the first case and 4 in the other.
