I love these podcasts but I am wandering if you could add one about top 10th edition space marine top units and reviews also maybe some space marine unit/detachment combos please.
Apple Podcasts5Kingamer!United Kingdom5 months ago - Rules Lawyer Question
I am confused about how line of sight works sometimes. If for example If I was shooting with shooting with a tau strike team in to ten termagants but only 2 tau can draw line of sight to the termagants. I remember someone telling me that if one model can see they can all shoot. Is this true or would I only be able to shoot with the 2 tau?

The new chaos space marine detachment’s special ability requires that you choose 1. You cannot gain + 1 strength on ranged and -1 AP on melee attacks if within 9” of a Psyker and DP. Gotta pick one when you do a dark pact.
One combo though is to bring a CSM Hellbrute which has a 6” aura that gives any friendly units lethal and sustained hits 1 in addition to one of the above new buffs.
