Hi, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I couldn't find where it was posted.

If my BA librarian + Sanguinary Priest are in a squad and my librarian takes an unsaved wound, can I LOS to my Sanguinary Priest and then take the FNP? Can I take FNP then a LOS?

You first take the Look out sir, then the model wich has been selected takes his armor save if none.. then dead... unless the weapon has double str of your T. And as for taking FNP inbefore LOS sure.. but then your Librarian might take a wound if you fail it, you allways take LOS before tossing saves etc.

You HAVE to LOS! before taking saves. Rulebook FAQ

I thought FNP is explicitly stated not to be a save?

Yes, but it means that you have to LOS! before rolling any saves. If the model with FNP has the wound passed to it it then takes any applicable save, then FNP if allowed.

LOS! has no interaction on FNP

You should really read the FAQs. If the unit has FNP you must use the mixed armor save rules which require LOS to be done prior to rolling armor saves.

FnP comes after saves. LoS happens before armor, cover, and/or invuln saves(as applicable)

So the order is 1) character is allocated a wound 2) character takes LoS 3) if successful another model takes the wound and gets to make any saves as applicable 3) if not successful, the character takes the wound and gets to make applicable saves 4) after saves are taken, unsaved wounds may have FnP taken against them(if not causing ID)

Unless they changed it again, having to take LOS! at all means you use mixed armour

i dont get how people get so confused about FNP

Its not a save, its a backup. If you fail your save and you arent instapasted you get a second try to avoid damage. Plain and simple. If that model has the rule FNP for whatever reason, its always there after he fails an armor/cover/invul save unless instapasted.
