It's a slow day and I'm painting my nids...As I was surfing these boards I came across this thread (http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?t=7123).
Anyhow, it sparked this in my mind -
Acid Blood (pg 84 Nid codex)
For every unsaved wound a model with acid blood suffers in close combat, the enemy unit that struck the blow must pass an Initiative test of suffer a wound. no armour saves or cover saves may be taken against these wounds and casualties count towards combat resolution. Walkers instead suffer a glancing hit on the d6 roll of a 4+.
Instant Death (pg 26 BRB)
If a model suffers an unsaved wound from an attack that has a Strength value of double its Toughness calue or greater, it is killed outright and removed as a casualty.
Determine Assault Results (pg 39 BRB, 4th paragraph)
only [count] the wounds actually suffered by the enemy models (including all of the wounds lost by models that have suffered instant death).
Ok, so my question is this:
I do 1 wound to a creature with acid blood. That 1 wound is double toughness so the creature suffers instant death. That Creature had, lets say, 4 wounds total. Now we all know for combat res, I get 4 wounds. The creature only took 1 unsaved wound, but that triggered instant death... but how many Initiative tests to I take because of Acid blood? 1 or 4?
