Quick question:

I'm a Tau player. Let's say I have a Broadside unit with 1 teamleader, 1 regular broadside and 2 shield drones. So there are basically 3 distinct "types" of models in the unit when it comes to would allocation: teamleader, regular broadside and shield drone.

They get shot at and take 4 total wounds.

Would I be able to allocate the following?

1 wound on teamleader
1 wound on regular broadside
2 wounds on shield drones

Or..

do I have to do the following?

1 wound on teamleader
2 wounds on regular broadside (to follow main rulebook rule where you have to allocate wounds to fill up multiwound characters?)
1 wound on shield drones

I'm thinking its option A where I can put the extra wound on the shield drones, but I wanted to be sure... You Make Da' Call!

You have to do the first, and actually cannot do the second. Each model must roll a save if possible. Just remember that you roll the shield drone wounds together.

You do not "fill up" wounds on multiwound models - you fill up UNSAVED wounds, i.e. after you make saves and AFTER you have allocated evenly, one wound to every model in the unit.

OK, cool thanks for the quick responses!
