okay I really thought I had this down but some recent videos and game viewings have confused me once again on how attacking mixed units works.
I searched through a bunch of the threads already made but quite frankly I think this will be faster.
to use a specific example lets go with one that has really boggled me. A tomb spyder which has produced scarabs.
in the shooting phase if there is only one scarab and the spyder apparently the necron player can choose to take a wound on the scarab using the spyder's toughness of 6? Since there is no majority stat line the defending player gets to choose who dies, but why can you use the higher value and then take off the model with the weaker value?
the same goes for assaulting, I have asked on here before if the spyder becomes independent and I know now that it does not. So, if there is more than one scarab swarm with the spyder when the unit is assaulted, the spyder uses the majority toughness of 3? and has to take wounds using that value? The way I have been doing it is allocating attacks model by model until each scarab is dead using their values and then the rest of the attacks go to the spyder since the necron player, the one I play against anyway, always wants the scarabs dead before the spyder. I just cant get myself to accept that the spyder should have to take a wound using half of its toughness value just becomes it is among models with less.
