An interesting debate emerged from a recent game of mine in which I, as a Lumineth player, faced a Khorne army. The bloodthirster general had the ability (I forget its name) that if he unbound a casting attempt on an 8, the caster took D6 mortal wounds.
During the game, one of my high sentinels (sentinel champion in the unit) was unbound in such a manner when trying to cast Power of Hysh. My opponent rolled a 6 for the mortal wounds roll - so far, no problem. The question is, where do you distribute the mortal wounds?
The wording is that it is the caster who takes them and the high sentinel is the only caster in that unit. Does he therefore take all 6 and you just remove him from the unit?
Alternatively, the core rules state that when applying damage to a unit, wounds roll over onto additional models in this kind of scenario, so effectively the high sentinel would die and 5 other men from the unit.
Thirdly, could I even just choose for 6 normal sentinels to die? I think this is most unlikely because they aren't casters, so the high sentinel must have to take something, right?
We played it the first way with just the high sentinel dying, but I have since had debate with other players that we should have done it the second way. Would be intrigued to know what the masses think. 😃
