Question :

I have Typhus in front of a group of 250 plague zombies. He's hit by a lascannon.

When is the 2+ "look ou sir" test done?

-> Before wounding?
-> After wounding but before the 5++ save?
> After the 2++ save ?

The RAW says (in french) : "the look out sir test is done before or after the armour save". Which is confusing.

Thanks for your help !

Whenever a wound is allocated to Typhus you can roll for LOS. If successful you re-allocate the wound to a suitable model. Then you roll the save of that model.

Since they have different armour saves, it is done before wounding.

The order is as follows (for all LOS!)
1. Roll To Hit
2. Roll To Wound
3. Allocate Wounds one at a time
4. Roll Look Out Sir! (if applicable)
5. Take a save (if allowed).

Even if they have the same save, it is done after rolling to Woun, but before saves are taken.

^ That.

Order looks like this:
Roll to hit
See how many hit
Roll to wound
See how many wound
Allocate 1 wound
Roll LOS! or Roll Armor save

IF LOS!ed:
Assign to new model.
New model takes armor save

If not LOS!ed:
Typhus rolls armor save.

Do the French FAQs not have the same errata that changes that line?

My bad, it has indeed been FAQed. The wound must then be resolved against that model, that includes save unless I am mistaken.

Should also point out that even if the character has the same save, you must still LoS before making his save.
