So a couple of interesting scenarios here that the BRB doesn't really clarify very well.

1) Look out sir. Lets say that a group of 10 Necron warriors fires on a squad of 5 tactical marines joined by Brother Corbulo. Let's say the Necrons incur 9 wounds. Can I choose to use a Look Out Sir for all 9 wounds and sink them into Corbulo on a 2+ roll check one by one? The BRB seems to say any time that a wound is taken. Does this work for other independent characters?

2) Our Weapons Are Useless. Last night I charged a group of Necron warriors with a CCB. Being that I chose to take all hits on the barge, and it being AV13, the warriors could do nothing to it. I miss all three of my attacks (garbage rolls lol) and he cannot do anything. Can he break away from combat sustaining no wounds, or does the morale check have to be activated by a 25% loss? Also, if he chooses to fail because of OWAU, can I then sweeping advance him?

3) Night Scythes. The BRB (6th edition, haven't gotten 7th yet) states that no unit may embark or disembark from a zooming flier. Well the Night Scythe is in perpetual zoom. Does this mean that units can only embark or disembark before the Scythe moves and not after it moves?

4) what exactly is the firing arc of a Night Scythe? In other words, while I know that it can only pivot before the move, and only 90 degrees at that, but what about if a unit it wishes to target is slightly to the left or to the right of the guns?

Thanks again guys!

These are all 6th ed answers you're looking for, correct?

Wounds are allocated to the closest model. Any that are allocated to the IC can be reallocated to another model on a 2+.
Almost sounds like your trying to allocated from a model to the IC, which you can't do.

Models attacking the chariot choose if they're hitting the chariot or rider in close combat.

There was an 6th ed FAQ that detailed how this works. It should still be in the new one as well.

They're Hull Mounted weapons, so have a 45* arc of sight.

From the 6th ed FAQ:

Page 51 – Night Scythes.
Add the following special rule:
“Invasion Beams: A unit that begins its Movement phase
embarked upon a Night Scythe can disembark before or after
the vehicle has moved (including pivoting on the spot, etc) so
long as the vehicle has not moved more than 36". If the Night
Scythe moves more than 24" in the same turn, the
disembarking unit can only fire Snap Shots.”
