A diresword has the following rule:

Soulrazor
When a model suffers one or more unsaved wounds from this weapon, it must pass a separate leadership test for each wound suffered or be removed from play.

Say I cause 3 wounds against a squad of 2 wound models which is the correct way to do it?

A) 2 Wounds on the first guy 1 wound on the second, second guy takes a leadership test.
B) 1 Wound on guy #1, he takes a leadership if he fails the second wound goes on guy #2, if he passes guy #1 takes the second wound and dies anyway. etc

1 Wound on guy #1, he takes a leadership if he fails then he is removed. The second wound goes on guy #2, if he passes then he takes the last wound too, and dies.

I looked at the Diresword. It's an option for the DA exarch, but he's only S3. Who else can take one?

Asurmen has a slightly better version of the Diresword/ Of course he's just a beefed up DA Exarch.

Only the avenger exarch can have it, but Asurmen's "sword of Asur" also has the soulrazor rule and he strikes at S5.
