I believe I may have been making an unfair mistake as of late. Is it true that ratling guns do not get the -1 to hit when there being shot. I thought they did and was recently told otherwise. Just curious of this was common knowledge.

Err... why would they not get it? Are they a single model? Yes. Are they a large target? No.

Therefore, there is still a -1 to hit penalty when shooting against them, although they can be targeted even when near their parent unit now...

it was pointed out to me in the warhammer book that units with unit strength 2 do not recieve the -1 bonus. ratling guns and jezzails in the skaven book are described having unit strength 2. Thats what threw me for a loop.

It's true, now only lone model with unit strenght 1 and skirmisher with unit strenght 1 get -1 to hit. New rules from 7 edition.

So it is sadly true. This means that even if they are hiding in a forest or something similar they are still very easy to hit.
I have a few bare metal dark elf model for sale, if interested pm me.

Mormeguil is quite correct as is your friend. US 2 single models do no longer benefit from -1 one to hit shooting - Such other units to suffer from this are Pegasus knights, the only other skirmishing US 2 model I can think of at the moment.

ok I thought that was right. :( I feel bad for the 2 games that I played with them and thought they had the -1. Hopefully I'm not the only player to have made this mistake.
