question:

in the rulebook it says that you have to take a pinning test for every pinning weapon that wounds a unit(sumthing like that). that means that if your sniper rifle scouts score 3 wounds the target unit needs to take 3 pinning tests. is this true??

Nope. Only a single Pinning Test is required, regardless of the number of wounds taken.

However, if two seperate units force these tests on a single target, then it takes two tests.

aah but what if one squad uses two different pinning weapons,
e.g. sniper rifle + telion's special bolter, does that make two tests or one?



probably only one. I think we've done this discussions before.

Only one per unit using pinning weapons of any stripe.

Each time a unit suffers casualties caused by Pinning weapons from a given enemy unit, it has to test.

So if you lose three guys to shooting from a single enemy unit using Pinning weapons, that's one test.

If you lose one guy each to three different enemy units using Pinning weapons, there's a test each time.
