So...
Say I have a Farseer and other troops locked in combat (assault) with a MC. The MC swings at the far seer and hits and does 1 wound. The MC has double the toughness of the Farseer so instant death occurs.
When it comes time to do moral, what is my LD modifier? I was looking in 5th (granted at a mad dash mid game type of search) and could not seem to find any clarification on it.
I argued that he really only caused a single would and there for it should only be a -1 LD.
My opponent argued that the Farseer has 3 wounds and there for it should be a -3 LD.
Anyone know the correct answer?

Ah, you are right Coredump!
Thanks man was looking for where it stated it... but alas it was getting late and I was looking at some other spots not finding anything specific (and I know that's how it was handled in 4th).
Personally I think it's a bit lame and over punishes 3T models (Don't they already have it rough enough with S6 causing instant death?)...
Anyway good to know how it's suppose to be done.

The idea is that it takes extra effort and time to write properly, and they’d rather save the time. If you can still be understood, what’s the harm? While most of the time a sloppy post CAN be understood, the use of proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling is generally seen as respectable and desirable on most forums. It demonstrates an effort made to be understood, and to make your post an easy and pleasant read. By making this effort, you can often elicit more positive responses from the community, and instantly mark yourself as someone worth talking to.

Think about it from the opposite perspective: Why should a model that gets crushed receive a 'get out of jail free' card in terms of his wounds just because he was smooshed?
The fact is, a guy getting his head ripped clean off is just as frightening to those around him as if he was stabbed 3 times in the chest and keeled over, probably more so.
