A bit of a noob question but do your own units class as blocking your line of sight if in the way of your shooting unit and the unit you are shooting at?
Also I'm guessing enemy units do block line of sight to enemy units behind them? Thanks

The only models that don't block line of sight are a unit's own models, but all others count!

FYI, this is also the wrong forum - this is Proposed Rules. You want "You Make Da Call" for future rules questions.

Okay no problem, so basically everything blocks Los besides from a units own models?

Unless you and your opponent make a house rule for it, that is correct. Note, however, that if just a spec of your opponent is visible from any part of a model, they can shoot at it. This commonly means that units are still shooting through others. However, the old adage is true "If you can see them, they can see you".

There was actually some huff about abusing your own models blocking LoS before, and the same could still be said to be true. For example, say you want to smite something, you're in range, but there's all these other models that are closer! Well, just take two Rhinos and position them in such a way that they block Line of Sight to every enemy model other than the unit you want to actually smite. Congrats, you now have a "targeted" Smite (since Smite hits the closest VISIBLE enemy unit, and only that enemy unit is visible).

Ah okay I see, well thanks for the information buddy much appreciated
