I am not 100% sure about this, but I want to check.

Example: A Carnifex assaults a mixed squad of terminators: They have lightning claws and TH/SS, 3 of each.

The Carnifex survives the lightning claw attacks and does 3 wounds. The marine player wants to roll on his stormshields. He fails 2 saves.

In this case, does the marine player have to remove the TH/SS terminators? I think he does because he applied the wounds to them and they failed. Or by some strange pro-marine FAQ ruling (too many of those), can he remove the lightning claw guys?

Absolutely. Once you designate which model (or similarly equipped group of models) will take wounds and attempt saving throws, you must remove any failed saving throws from that specific model/group.

The only exception would be for a special rule like "Look out, Argh!" that specifically states that you can deviate from the wound allocation/saving throw system.

If he takes the wounds on the Storm Shields, he must remove those models. It's because he's assigning those wounds to those models, and they just happen to have the storm shields equipped.

No FAQ ruling, just some cheating going on there.

If you've go someone that likes to pull "oh, it was in a FAQ. No, I don't have it with me" then I strongly suggest that you get all the FAQs printed out or put onto a latop so you can have them handy.
