Hi

new question.

if a unit in transports looses an assault, but have not dissembarked from thier transports, how do the casualties inflicted work?


.IE.

Tyranid vs Vanheim (epicUK)

Tyranid swarm wins an engagement against a company of Vanheim air cav, the vanheim valkyies have opted to hover with their infantry companies still embarked, thus negating the attacks of the homagants in contact. the tyranids still win the engagement by 3 after all modifiers have been added and taken away.

how are the 3 casualties distributed?
(1.) do they go onto the first transport and then on the 2 infantry stands inside
or
(2.) do 3 transports take the hits (as they are distributed like an assault, so as only the valks can be hit, only they can recieve the aditional hits) and then you roll for each campanys 6+ save(for being in a transport)
or
(3.) other.....

hope you can see where i am comming from

thanks
Alex

Rather surprisingly, this is not in the FAQ.
The answer is option "2". You place the hits on each transport and then resolve them as as you would for normal shooing or assault, with saving throws for the occupants
