    Default Marker light and flyers

    If a flyer gets marked by marker lights can you bump up the BS for the army?

    Yes and no.

    Yes, you can improve the BS.
    No, not for the army. Just for one unit one point per marker up to BS 5.

    I don't think it would help for things without Skystrike. Markerlights add to your BS, but Snapfire sets it to 1. In the beginning of the BRB (the section about Multiple Modifiers). You first double/half, then Add/Subtract, then Set Values.

    So in this instance, you would be increasing the units ballistic skill to 5, and then it gets knocked back down to 1, no matter how many markerlights you spend.

    edit: it wouldn't hurt to reduce the Jink 5+ cover just in case you hit though.

    Using markerlights to increase BS isn't helpful. Basically what happens is this: You declare your squad is shooting at the flyer and they are reduced to BS1. Then you fire any networked markerlights. Then you are reduced to BS1 again. Then you fire the rest of your shots.

    Correct. Markerlights can't help your BS vs flyers.

    It´s clear they don´t work as of now but it woud really make sense if you´d have to hit your Markerlights on bs1 BUT it some of them hit, you got the bonus. That´s what they´re for after all, lazing things...
