Allocating wounds to models not within range

[Cayhn]

Hello!

We are slightly debating the rule about allocating wounds to models that are outside of range in the combat phase.

Since the defending player is the one who decides which models take the damage does this mean that all damage is always allocated even if the front row of say a Ghoul unit is melted away but the Warboss attacks and the other ghouls is more than 2" away? Would the damage still continue to be dealt?

Basically what I'm asking is if it's possible to wipe an entire unit in one blow assuming you have enough damage output despite the weapons dealing the damage doesn't have the range?

Yes.
Attacks are resolved against units, not models.
If only one model from the unit is within range when the attacks are made, the damage output is still applied to the unit as a whole.
Casualties can be taken from anywhere in the unit.
