This came up a while back, and it still bothered me. I was playing Bretonnians at the time, and charged a Great Unlean One with King Louen, unit of Pegasus Knights one flank, unit of Knights errant on another flank, and another unit of knights in its rear. Bottomline was that I was having trouble causing wounds with Trappings of Nurgle, and the fact that it was able to cast miasma of pestilence was also troubling. So I had to beat the thing by CR alone, and by doing so I was causing the Daemon to do his leadership test, and take a few wounds a turn from Daemonic Instability. This meant that his Pestilent Mucus ability was causing a huge number of toughness tests, with no armor saves, on all my models in base contact with the Greater Daemon. Which was alot of wounds as majority of Brets are T 3.

I guess my question is can Daemonic Instability wounds suffered inflict Pestilent Mucus T tests? I can understand regular wounds from combat causing these wounds, but a Great Unclean one with with ten wounds, and having a cheap 25pt ability is a bit crazy when it can be used for Daemonic Instability as well. Has GW made a ruling of interpretation on this?

Yes - any wound suffered by the daemon triggers Pestilent Mucus, it does not state that this must be from straight combat alone.

trouble is the GUO are poor compared to BT - who kill things without usually taking wounds themselves, and fly rather than being slow...

It's also bad when they get miasma off and your toughness is 1 instead of 3.

I'll be honest - every time I open that book, I hate it a bit more. Ran into TWO Nurgle armies at the 'Ard Boyz Finals, and learned the hard way that Dark Elves don't like Nurgle.

Nothing like a guy generating four bases of Nurglings in each Round.
