so just making sure i am doing this right

it says it compairs to the Targets Leadership rather than Toughness, so does that mean Average leadership or highest?
Example: Space Marine Tactical squad has 9 guys leadership 8, and 1 guy leadership 9, do you need 4's or 5's to wound the squad?


and does anyone know why the damn weapon is AP 1 if it has no affect against vehicles?

I'm guessing it's the individual Ld value of the unit. And there's two possibilities to the Ap1

1: It's just to get past the 2+ saves
2: 6th Ed will have some sort of additional effect for Ap1, as the general consensus is, the Necron Codex was designed with 6th in mind.

Replace Toughness with Ld for everything. So majority Toughness becomes majority Ld

so been doing it right, just wondering... now a follow up... what about a orc boyz squad with mob rules? the current cencus is they are LD 10 but im not sure about the wording on mob rules...

Mob Rule, I believe, actually changes the Leadership value of every model in the unit. So, if there were 10 boyz, their Leadership characteristic would actually be 10. Or, you could choose to change it to 10. I think?

Mob rule replaces the Ld of every single model in the unit with the mob size.

Ok, we were doing it right then,

Now here is a fun thing if a person uses the leadership of a commander or sergeant and gets wounded he dies. Since you wounded his leadership. A little thing I got to experience last night.

Really??? that will make people never want to use the characters' LD cause 1 template hits about 4-7 guys at a time. :-O of course if this does work I will b super happy cause that means i have a cheesy way of destroying my friend's marius calgar that he loves to use.

That's wrong 100%. You don't get to choose the LD value. It's always that of the majority of the unit. 4 LD8 models and a sergeant with LD9? The LD is 8 and abyssal staff would wound on a 4+. One model of LD8 and a sergeant of LD 9? The LD is 9 and abyssal staff would wound on a 5+. Allocate wounds and remove models as normal in both cases.

Ya but if the person tried to use the ld 9 then kill off the Sergent. That is what I am saying

He couldn't use it, unless there was only 2 people left in the squad. And in that case, you'd be wrong.

All normal rules apply, just replace all instances of Toughness with Leadership.

Just as copper.talos said.
