So if i give my firewarrors a markerlight and he shoots first and hits can the rest of his unit use that markerlight hit?

[Yaifrog]

Only if it's a networked markerlight (ie. marker drones).

Frog's got it on that one. However, if you have two FW squads, and they both have Markerlights, you can use one squad's ML to benefit the other, and vice versa.

To build on what Nuke said-

Just remember that the Makerlight chain has to start somewhere, the fist squad to fire will always be without a markerlight.

Actually, you can't. You can only fire with one unit at a time. If you fire the markerlight in the first squad then the rest of the squad has to shoot at the same time. A second squad can still benefit from the markerlight hit, but not vice-versa.

well poop. That saves me a few points any way.

[Nuke]

Really? I have assumed that you could roll the markerlights before other shooting was resolved... oh well, I'll fix that in my games

Just wanted to note that there are other (cheaper) ways to get your markerlights... There was GW article about it, I belive it said the cheapest way was pathfinders... then again that was written before the latest codex.

All the best.

here on TO is the first place that I saw it. Though yes pathfinders are the cheapest way to go per ML hit. They are also really nice if you consolidate fire or use pulsecarbines/rail rifles.

another point to remember is that ML does NOT benefit ML.

Pathfinders may be cheaper per ML hit, but they can't target different units, they have only the fire lanes their position allows, and if take wounds, you could lose all of your ML's. It's like putting all your eggs in one basket. Pathfinders can take rail rifles however....
