Assume I have my GKGM charge a squad of MM ABs. I infict two wounds, which means a dead bike. Can I then use my FW to kill another one, or since that model is already dead I can't use the FW at all? I tried searching but did not have any luck.

Your Grand Master attacks and inflicts two wounds. Your opponent assigns both wounds to one attack bike. The attack bike dies and you lose your chance to use your force weapon ability.

If, however, your opponent had an attack bike with only one wound remaining, he would need to allocate one inflicted wound to that bike and the second inflicted wound to another bike. The first bike would die and you could use your Force Weapon against the second wounded bike.

Alternatively if it was a combined complex squad with say one MM AB and one hB AB... if he allocates one wound to each. Because he has to, then you can kill them both with the FW,

Iago - you can only kill one with a FW: it requires a psychic test and you can only use one psychic power per turn, unless otherwise stated (MoT as an example)

nosferatu1001 has it 100% correct here. In short, if all the Attack bikes have an even number of wounds left and you cause an even number of wounds, you don't get a chance to Force Weapon.

Thanks... that's what I figured, but I wanted to be sure.

**Iago**

ah, that does make sense. So one of the bikes would die.

**nosferatu1001**

Yes - if you have two different wound groups, and one or more bikes ends up on a single wound, you could then force weapon one of the wounded models.
