I've run into a couple warscrolls now that say this. Stormcast Eternals Liberators for example can re-roll any saves of 1 "if any models from this unit are carrying Sigmarite Shields."
As written, does this mean that as long as 1 model in the unit has a Sigmarite shield then all of my saves get rerolled on 1's? So you could just equip the remainder with paired weapons to get +1 to their hit rolls and leave the guy with the shield to hang out in the back of the unit. That doesn't seem to be the intention of this ability, but the text is explicit (and that line is used elsewhere where this is the intention), and as far as I can tell there are no rules requiring units be equipped the same. It only breaks the rule of "does it make sense?" so I guess you'd just have to agree with your opponent that you can't do that.
EDIT: Hmm, upon reading the description section I'm wondering if there it implies that units must be equipped the same. "units of Liberators are armed with...", units being the important word.
