hey in my 2K list i have 20 Raptors with mark of Nurgle (+1 Toughness) and wanted to give them Icon of Despair which gives them the Fear special rule when they already have Fear included in their profile. If i take Icon of Despair does that mean my opponent would have to make 2 test in if he fails either his WS is redued to 1? also if I have 2 Raptor Squads assulting 1 unit does he have to make 2 tests, and if i take Despair on both 4 tests?

No, only one test per turn per unit.

It'd be redundant; useless.

even if your second raptor squad assaulted the same unit as our first, the assaulted unit would only have to make one roll.

Can't have 20 in a squad...

.......2 ten man squads bro or 1 ten and 2 five all I said was I take 20 raptors I didn't say how I took them

Have another look at Fear, page 35. In particular - "one or more enemy models" - emphasis mine. In other words, it doesn't matter how many models, units or even detachments are nearby and have Fear, you only test once.

Take another mark and icon, so you can use Fear and something else, if not, you are going to waste some points.

MoN raptors with Icon of Vengeance are pretty good
