We had a game last night where I had Crowe charge a unit consisting of a warboss in 'eavy armour and 10 lootas. Crowe declared a challenge against the warboss who accepted. Crowe rolled a 1 for his number of attacks and managed to miss one ot the totally two attacks. (+1 for charging.) He then redeemed his lousy rolling for number of attacks by rolling a 6 'to wound', making the attack rending and unsaveable for the poor warboss. He then succeeded at his psychic test for activating his force sword, sealing the fate of the warboss for good.

The remaining lootas stopped mid-cheer as their mighty warboss, armour and all, was cut in half by Crowe's mighty attack.

The lootas then took an Ld test at 7 (the Ld of a loota) - 4 (the amount of wounds the warboss lost due to ID). They failed, leading Crowe to perform a successful sweeping advance, hacking them all to bits.

All in all a glorious moment for Crowe.

The question that came up is whether the Ld test was correctly executed. As it was, they received a -4 penalty, all remaining wounds on the warboss, even though it technically only was 1 unsaved wound, that caused ID.

We couldn't find anything in the BRB, so we rolled off for it.

TL;DR: Are the extra wounds lost due to ID counted when you do CC resolution?

Thanks.

yes, when dealing ID all wounds count as negative modifiers for the LD test.

aside from that a warboss should never accept a challenge IMO, as they always go last (with PK otherwise at the same time as SM now) and at best get a 2+/5+ but i suppose thats not too relavant.

Thanks.

I JUST found it. Its on pg. 26. Don't know why we couldn't find it yesterday...

I almost ninja'd myself.

Where did Crowe get a force weapon from?

Note that Castellan Crowe does not have a force weapon.

Ha! You're right. While flipping pages between Crowe and the Brotherhood Champion it seems I mixed the entries for Crowe's Blade of Antwyr and the Champion's Anointed Blade.

Good catch, thanks.

Is there a reason the Lootaz weren't Ld 10 (then reduced by 4), as their leadership is equal to the number of models in the squad?

Don't they have a baseline stat? If there are 4 lootas they wouldn't be Ld 4 would they?
Maybe crowe wasn't alone when he charged and some more lootas died.

Yeah, Crowe does not have a force weapon. You robbed that warboss of a rightful victory. ID wounds all count towards combat res. If you ID a Monstrous Creature with 8 wounds then that's 8 wounds towards resolution.

Also, i thought warbosses only have 3 wounds?

Yes, Lootas have a base Ld of 7, but also have Mob rule, meaning they can choose to replace their Ld with the number of models in the unit, so could be Ld10 if they wished.

And if they had more than 10 they would be fearless...
