Thanks for writing that out, Kommisar Kel.
I think I have misread parts off that consistently.

good thing wounds are allocated per model in complex model situations, and no where does it explicitly state that the IC gains vuln to blasts when it joins a unit that has it (for the like 9th time here go and actually read the special rules section for ICs). Thus any model that has vuln to blasts that gets a wound from a blast weapon has it doubled. It's stupid to do this any other way, and the FAQ entry I quoted clearly points out how vuln to blasts works for complex unit.

If you want to be TFG go right ahead, but you won't see me playing like that

That is what I had read often enough, but that is not what the rules state.

sure it is. read the characters special rules... how many times do i need to say that in this thread?

The rule does not explicitly state that the IC gains it when an IC joins a unit with it, thus the IC is not effected.

Your saying that has no bearing on the text in the book.
The text specifies that the UNIT with vulnerable to blast doubles wounds.

The unit in question does not have any rule.
Part of one does, but that is not what the rule calls for.

Who gets allocated the wound does not matter, the vulnerable to blasts rules assume the whole unit has the rule(it doubles the wounds to the unit).

That said, it still does not get conferred to the IC, and we have no way of knowing how it works on the models that actually have it(being a unit-wide rule, not a model-by-model rule).

A good house-rule is what you are saying Wandering fox, but that is a house-rule fix to a hole in the rules, not at all RAW
