If I have one model with one wound in a squad and a HQ who is locked in a challenge with an opposing character what happens if my troop model is dealt 4 wounds, fails them all, and dies without causing any wounds and no wounds are dealt between either challenger? Would I be required to take a leadership check at -4 or at -1 since the model only has one wound, or would I not have to take a check since the only model I have left is locked in a challenge?

From the Official Rulebook FAQ:

"Q: If a character is removed from play as a casualty after fighting a challenge, are any excess unsaved Wounds counted when determining assault results? (p65)
A: No – only the Wounds actually suffered in the challenge count."

Thank you for the response, does this same ruling apply to say a lone incubi that suffers 4 wounds while the archon is fighting a challenge and the archon takes none?

Reread what happens to excess wounds and combat resolution - they are lost

Thanks, I think I was making the scenario more complicated then it was, so the outcome would be the Archon in the challenge would have to take a leadership check at -1.
