If I'm assaulting with multiple fearless units into one unit and I lose combat does each fearless unit have to take fearless wounds equal to total that my side lost by or just the amount that the unit lost by?

Each unit on the losing side takes a morale check equal to the amount their lost combat by, and the same for No Retreat! wounds: each unit takes a number of NR! wounds equal to the amount they lost combat by

It is utterly consistent for once!

even though I don't like the answer I'll work with it, thanks!

It has always been this way, its just in 4th you tended to only take 1 or 2 - maximum of 5. Gaunt broods didnt care. Now you can take 10, 20 etc people are suddenly hoping that the wounds get divided up...

The exception to "every unit takes..." is that if a model on the losing side cant be hurt by any model in the combat, then it doesnt take wounds - for example a Wraithlord when there are no powerfists around.

Not just powerfists, but if they are also str 4 and below, (with respect to that Wraithlord example above).

Just remember though, even if there is only 1 power fist in the squad, that Wraithlord will still take multiple wounds if you lost by a hell of a lot.
