So how does this work? 2 additional wounds with a totally of 3? or just 2 wounds? Im not sure it Is being played correctly.

What rule are you questioning and what book?

its in the title, Rad Poisoning from skatarii. The rad carbines and what not, every 6 he rolls to wound, (my friend) he says that he gets 3 wounds(2+ the 1st). is this right? I read the rule, and is just says 2 wounds on a 6.

To be fair, the Dark Angels Ravenwing Grenade Launcher also has a 'Rad Poisoning' special rule.

As to your question, the rule says "... a To Wound roll of 6 causes 2 Wounds on the target unit..." Nothing indicates that you would cause three wounds.

Ah I see, I don't have access to that rule but based on Ghaz's quote I'd have to agree that it's only 2 wounds.

He is most likely getting confused by the taser weapons those do cause 3 hits on a 6.

Its 2 wounds on a 6

I know what your friend is getting confused about.

Rad poisoning lacks some wording that is normally found in these types of rules(specifically: "instead of one, normally caused").

This is not an issue because the rule simply gives an effect for the roll of a 6; that normal verbiage is more of a reminder or clarification. It is also left off due to the low str and rest of the effect; a t7(8?) model cannot be wounded by the weapon normally, but takes 2 wounds when the 6 is rolled.

So, yeah, the 6 to wound roll simply causes the effect of 2 total wounds instead of wounding normally then causing 2 wounds(for a total of 3)
