Hi guys.

Yesterday I played Mordrak for the first time, and I have a question. It is wrote that when he lost A wound, you have to cast a die, then blablabla... But if he lost 2, or 3 wounds during a single phase, does it mean that I would roll 2 or 3 dices ? During the game, he lose 3 wounds during a shouting phase, so did I have to run 1D3 or 3D3 ?

Thanks for your help !

Yeah I believe it is only 1 roll even if he loses several wounds. I tried reading it any other way but I really think the way it is written it is one roll for 1+ wounds lost.

@ Mythra : I really like your Grey Knights models

Whenever Mordrak suffers an unsaved wound, roll a D3 at the end of the phase.

Its telling us 1D3 per unsaved wound per phase, versus his wound total at the end of that phase. If Mordrak takes 3 wounds in one phase (and survives), you will roll 3D3 with any result of 1 or more spawning a Ghost, netting you 3 additional Ghosts in this example.

Whenever Mordrak suffers an unsaved wound....roll a d3 at the end of the phase

If you roll a d3 you fulfil this requirement, no matter how many wounds you lost that phase.

Sounds good, but you can also say that if they had wrote "Whenever Mordrak suffers one or more unsaved wounds...", it would be clear that it is a single D3.

Yes, they could have been more clear, however it is the same as Waagh banners - "a unit with a waagh banner.." still is fulfilled by a single +1WS boost

If you roll 2 D3 have you rolled A D3, singular? No.

If Mordrak takes a wound, you set aside a D3 to roll at the end of the phase. If he takes another wound, you set aside another D3 to roll at the end of the phase. If he takes a third wound, you set aside a third D3 to roll at the end of the phase. If Mordrak takes a 4th wound ... he's dead, and all of his Ghosts de-spawn. If Mordrak didn't die by the end of the phase, roll each D3 and compare each roll to Mordrak's remaining wound total; for each roll equal to or more than Mordrak's remaining wounds, add one NFS wielding Ghost to Mordrak's squad.

If they wanted Mordrak to roll 1D3 only if he received any wounds that phase, GW would not have worded his rule to generate one D3 off of one unsaved wound, with the D3 rolled at the end of the phase. They would have worded it to generate one D3 off of any unsaved wounds dealt.

However it never says that you roll a D3 for each wound. If he suffers three wounds he has "... suffered an unsaved wound..." and would only roll a single D3.

As above. If you take a wound, roll a d3. Taking three wounds still results in rolling a d3. Nothing else has any support in the rules, whatsoever.

If it applies to each wound then it would usually read along the lines of "For each unsaved wound suffered"
Instead of "whenever he suffers an unsaved wound"

Its a bit backwards, but this has come up quite a bit and usually plays out as a single roll no matter how many wounds taken in that phase.
