http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/93.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net The Daemons of Chaos book states that wounds caused by followers of Nurgle will add to the tally.
The definition of 'follower of Nurgle' is given, but it's not specific enough. We all know what the Nurgle daemons are, but they are not 'followers of Nurgle' because they don't have the key word 'follower of Nurgle' in their rules. They have the phrase '...of Nurgle' in many of their titles, but they don't actually have marks or any identifying keywords.

Second, what falls into the category of 'wound caused by a follower of Nurgle?' (FON)

It's not a far cry to say that wounds suffered in close combat with FON models count for the Tally, but take spells for instance. Do Nurgle spells that inflict wounds count as wounds caused by a FON? The spell is what's causing the wounds and not the sorcerer that is a FON.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352641.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352641.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352664.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352664.page GMT
That's part of the issue.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352692.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352692.page GMT 40K book. I think it would be safe to treat any daemons of nurgle (plaguebearers, nurglings) and any models bearing the mark of Nurgle as "followers of Nurgle".

As to wounds inflicted, that is a good question. Clearly any melee or ranged attacks by the model would count. I would lean towards saying magic would count, as the model is casting the spell and the spell is an instrumentality like a weapon. You don't say that the great weapon inflicted the wound, not the model, after all.

Interesting twist, though. What about CR wounds, like to daemons or undead? I would be inclined to say that these do not count, as the unit suffers it from themselves via a special rule and it is not actually inflicted by the other models.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352940.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/352940.page GMT CR wounds for instability wouldn't count because they are inflicted by RULES. ranged attacks wouldn't count because they are wounds inflicted by weapons. spells wouldn't count because they are wounds inflicted by spells.

honestly i'm not sure if this is an issue that's come up before, or if it's addressed anywhere in the main rulebook (because i looked and couldn't find anything regarding the source of wounds).

i can totally understand that close combat attacks would cause wounds from FON because that is the primary way that wounds are dealt in WHFB, so the intent would seem clear. but was the design intent here to allow ranged attacks and spells to count towards the Tally?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/353037.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/353037.page GMT cc attacks rely on a hand weapon to actually do the damage.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/353081.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/353081.page GMT
you're correct, however i wasn't going to take it that far.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/353098.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/216239/353098.page GMT
