So I have a rule question, hope you guys can help me out and clarify it.

In the FAQ it is stated that you Need to roll one dice for each wound lost, so multiple dice if you get hit by a Multi dmg weapon.

Now a death guard Player says, that he Need to roll only one, if the model which gets wounded has only one wound (lifepoint) in its Profile.

Because a model which only has one wound, can only "lose" one wound and therefore just Needs to roll a single dice even if it gets hit with multiple damage.

How is this handled ?

Was there any (official) tournament so far in which death guard was involved, to see how they handled it. Because I think he wont believe some forum posters.

You roll the first dice. If he dies, then he can't make any more rolls. If he makes the roll, roll the next dice, and so on.

You need to do them one at a time and in order.

If he refuses to listen to the actual rules and instead wants "tournament" players to confirm his incorrectness, then he's a lost cause to begin with.

We currently have the same discussion. A friend of me also arguments, that a model with 1W can only lose 1W.

But in my oppinion a model can (if you read the rules) suffer 1000W or even more, it doesnt matter how many wounds it has in its profile.

So you can lose multiple wounds, even if you have only one wound in your profile.

For each damage you lose a wound. There is no rule or text that says you can only lose as many wounds as you have (left).

But he also refuses to "accept" the rules as they are written, because they are not clear in his opinion. I admit that the wording is really bad for all these rules, but it should be clear that you lose wounds per damage taken, regardless of how many wounds your model has in the profile or left.

It should be one per Wound suffered regardless of what gets hit. Otherwise, why should a trooper shrug off a whole Lascannon hit that might utterly overkill and vaporise him? Deadly things should be deadly. :-)

Your friend should read the Designer Notes : https://17890-presscdn-0-51-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Warhammer_40000_Designers_Commentary-ENG.pdf

Q: When rolling for abilities such as ‘Disgustingly
Resilient’ or ‘Tenacious Survivor’ against attacks
which inflict multiple wounds, do you roll to ignore
each individual wound inflicted by the attack, or do
you roll only once to ignore all the wounds inflicted by
the attack?

A: Roll to avoid each wound lost separately

You can download them here in german : https://17890-presscdn-0-51-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/GER_Warhammer_40000_FAQ_Docs.zip

Yup, you roll how much damage that 1W model receives and roll disgustingly resilient for each wound suffered. The rule is strong enough as it is without making false claims (like rolling only once for multiple damage wounds).

Let's say it's a 6 damage weapon vs 1w models.
You would roll 6 dice (probably roll all together)
If ANY of those 6 dice fails, a SINGLE model of the enemy is killed.

Let's say it's 3 different, 6 damage weapon hits vs 1w models.
You would still only roll it 6 dice at a time.
Again, only a single model dies if any of those 6 fail.
Except you would repeat the process 3 more times. Potentially killing 3 models total.

Let's say it's a 6 mortal damage weapon vs 1w models.
You would roll 6 dice (should be fine to roll together)
For EACH dice that fails, a model of the enemy is killed. Potentially killing 6 models total.

It is NOT fine to roll together. If you fail the first roll, you don't get to try 5 more times.

What's the difference?
Explain
Explain in detail
I said if you fail ANY
If you have 1 fail and 5 successes, that's still a Fail. You die.

At that point it wouldn't matter since that one failure would still kill the model with no real impact on the rest of the unit. Since all the wounds from that hit go to that model, it takes them or nobody does.

There is no "first roll" if you roll them together. *any* failures on a 1w model Kills it. 2 failures on a 2w model kills it and so on. even if its 30 DR rolls. If you fails the number of wounds the target has, its dead. Doesnt matter how you roll em. One at a time can lead to DR rolls taking a *long* time. Rolling them together is viable and can speed up the process

Mortal wounds carry on beyond the first model
