So, as an example... Astorath + 10 death company vs 5 grey knight terminators with halbreds.

Astorath is in base to base with at least 1 halbred guy. The halbreds swing first, and score 7 wounds. I can chose to allocate first to astorath, and take 7 saves, one at a time, on him, until he's dead?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617275.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617275.page GMT Re:Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters LoS and different saves, you can only take LoS before the regular save is rolled.

Challenges can sometimes help mitigate the effect though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617294.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617294.page GMT Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters GK and a few Xenos equivalents.

If I have astorath in the squad though, and they manage 4-5 AP3 wounds, I'd rather take 4-5 2+ saves on him than rely on my death companies 5+ FNP saves alone.

If they challenge, couldn't I just decline, and still allocate wounds to him?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617309.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617309.page GMT Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters
If you had a sergeant or other character as well as Astorath then they could accept the challenge and you'd be okay.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617315.page GMT Re:Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617347.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617347.page GMT Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters
So yea, it looks like its gonna be super important to include at least one 2+ save character in each squad.

I could throw in a techmarine, I suppose, in the squads that don't get astorath with them.

Why?

It doesn't mention anything other than he can't strike blows because he's busy trying to get away from / defend himself from the enemy character looking for him... fluffwise, that could mean he's open to attacks from the rest of the enemy, or he's just parrying all their swings and has no time to attack, hence the refusal and his current inability to attack or lead.

Allocating wounds to a refusing character sounds legit to me ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617412.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617412.page GMT Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617436.page GMT Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters HQ is going to be especially awesome now. Every 2+ save I make on him would save a death company marine from taking a 5+ save, and against squads that are not using power swords, he still gets 2 power ax swings + a power fist. Not bad for 65 points. Also, the ability to repair stormravens might be pretty cool.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617479.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4617479.page GMT Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters
I thought that in CC wounds were allocated to nearest model, just like in shooting. Meaning that if say your 10 man death company are all in base contact with the GK squad, they should be taking wounds as well. The exception being that if multiple models are in base contact with the model attacking you "random-roll" to figure out who gets it.
I don't remember being able to allocate wounds for models with different saves...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4618296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/467820/4618296.page GMT Re:Hand to Hand wound allocation + independent characters BtB first.
