OK so this is not about gaming, again.
User Email in: I visit your site every day, you guys are fantastic! I know you guys answer emails now and then, and I have a question – A good one, I think. When do you make the leadership test for instant death checks for the bonesword or soul devourer abilities? Here is how it reads to me: Models must immediately take a leadership test when they suffer an unsaved wound. Non-complex unit, say a unit of raveners, get attacked by warriors with boneswords. Roll to hit, Roll to wound, Roll to save. For non-complex units, this is done all at once for all the models. The unit has now suffered unsaved wounds, so leaderships are taken. Wounds are then assigned to models via the brb, instant death on unwounded and non-instant death on wounded models first. Aside from the fact that the tyranid rule isn’t written exactly like the daemon one, the tyranid rule appears that a model only needs to make one leadership roll no matter how many wounds it has taken, the daemon one specifically says that each wound is rolled. Its a tough one, when do we check leadership for instant death?
