EDIT - Disregard; I was looking too much at the special rules and not paying attention to the 'General Principles' of 'Blast Markers and Templates'

Blast and templates wound are always determine from to closest model(s) to the firing units/model. The only exemption being Barrage which precise that wounds are determine from the center of the blast.

Yeah, my original question was whether template weapons could wound units other than the original chosen target - I was combing through the template special rules alongside the shooting phase rules, but forgot about 'Blast Markers and Templates' under General Principles

In case anyone wonders in future, the rules say:

"A unit takes a hit for each model that is fully, or even partially, underneath the template or blast marker."

This is repeated under the Blast special rules, but it is not worded quite the same under Template rules, hence my confusion.
