So, in a nutshell, you pass wounds around at allocation, I understand that, but my question is how many times can a model take a wound that has been passed by lookout sir! Meaning, if you have a unit of bikers, the biker lord (w/e) is in front and the closest model to the enemy. There are only 4 bikes total in the squad including the lord.

Say I wound the squad 20 times, how many of those wounds can the lord pass to the other models? Meaning, there are only 3 other models in the squad, so can only 3 be passed to the rest of the squad? Or do simply have to lookout sir 1 at a time until the models attempting to take wounds for the lord are no longer alive?

So as said before, 20 wounds on the 4 man biker unit, lord ops to LoS, passes, first bike takes the wound fails save, second wound the lord ops to LoS, second bike takes wound fails save, there are now only 2 bikes remaining, the lord and one normal biker, can I simply LoS on the single non-lord bike until that bike dies? Or can the bike behind the lord only take one successful LoS wound?

Any help appreciated.

you can keep going until there is no one left to send your wound to.

You have to resolve each wound individually. You can LOS until there are no models left to LOS to and then you roll all your saves at once.

You can keep using LoS until there's no wounds or no models in the unit except the character.

You basically said in in your OP.

You

That is what you have to remember.

So enemy hits and wounds,
You allocate to the IC (Or character if not an IC)
You roll for Look Out Sir (If you want to)
You roll a save for the IC/Character (Or the model closest to the IC if you used LOS!)
If you pass the save repeat until the wound pool is emptied.
If you fail the save reduce the models wounds value by one as normal and repeat until the wound pool is emptied.

Ok so it is as I thought, good to know.

Remember also that you can only LOS onto models within 6". So if all the models in the unit within 6" have died, you can't LOS any more onto models further away.
