Wierdboy rolls 1 and gets 'eadbanger. So here are the questions:

- Can the squad try to deny the witch before the wounds are inflicted?
- Where should the wounds be allocated?
- If they're allocated on the wierdboy, can they be los'd?

1. No. Only enemy units get to DtW.
2. Closest model to the Weirdboy. Or possibly the Weirdboy himself. The rules don't cover what happens if a unit hits themselves with a shooting attack.
3. Any wound allocated to the Weirdboy can be LOS'd.

1, RAW no,
2. it's a blast (barrage wound be different), so there is no starting point for the wounds, so random allocation. Because it essence, your unit, is shooting your unit, everyone is equidistant away from the shooting unit.
3, yes you can LOS them.

2. I'm not sure if it's treated as a "Unit" shooting. It's stated that a unit may shoot and charge a different target apart from a wierdboy.

Where is that stated? a rare few IC can do that, but not the weird boy.

from the FAQ frazzle and zap are psychic shooting attacks, and 'eadbanger resolves as frazzle.

as a IC he joined the unit and is a full part of that unit. His 'eadbanger result is no different than any other unit with a blast weapon that scatters back onto itself.

he is part of the unit and shooting his own unit. Random allocation is the way to go here.
