EDIT: Never mind, found the answer. Wounds are only allocated after all of a unit's attacks are resolved.

So I faced a player who was new to AoS but not new to GW's rules writing style, and he surprised me with a few technical questions. Foremost amongst them was this:

My big nasty unit (6 Plague Drones with locus on) charges his chaff unit. I pick it to attack. I pile in so all my models are in range of his models. I resolve attacks with my first weapon type and he pulls casualties - about half his unit - , then asks innocently: "Are your models that are no longer in range of my models still able to use their remaining weapons?"

Until then we had always played it that a model that started its attack step in range could use all its attacks, but there's really nothing in the rules to support that, is there?

So I forfeited the rest of my attacks, and returned the favor next round when he charged in with a Chimera by pulling the front fly to his first attack, denying him the rest. It struck me as ridiculous how ineffective this makes big monsters.

Did we do this right?
