Hey guys, how does this work if you do enough wounds to the model that it would be removed.

So lets say it has 3 wounds left and I inflict 5 wounds, if it makes 1 of its FNP roles would it survive? Does failing 4 wounds take it to -1 W or does it stop at 0. Since the FNP would regain 1 wound I am unsure if the 4 dmg that went through would stop at 0 or take it to -1 W. If it stops at 0 the extra wound seems to be wasted and the FNP would bring back 1 wound after the unit finishes its attacks or does the model have to be above 0 wounds after all FNP roles to get any wounds back?

Rule for reference: Aura of Mutability: When this model would lose a wound as a result of an
attack, roll one D6; on a 6 that wound is not lost. After a unit has finished
resolving all of its attacks against this model, this model regains one lost
wound for each wound it negated because of this ability.

Thanks.

You can argue that you regain the wounds, but it still won't do you any good because once you've been brought down to 0 or fewer wounds, the model is slain and removed. Returning wounds to a model that has already been removed won't do much of anything.

You "Inflict Damage" in step 5 of the "Making Attacks" sequence. This states "If a model’s wounds are reduced to 0 or less (Ed: THIS SHOULD SAY FEWER REEEE), it is destroyed and removed from play." Note this happens BEFORE the attack has resolved and thus must happen before "a unit has finished resolving all of its attacks". So the model is removed, regardless of whether or not the wounds would be regained.

Amazing, thanks for the quick reply and the rules reference just in case my opponent has any issues with this.
