RE: [NetEpic ML] Asking about regenerating creature

Hi!

Some question about regenerating, especially Tyranid's regenerating:

1) If a model with wound is hit by somewhat that should destroy it, it
suffer as many wound as it's start with. This meaning that a creature
with
6 wounds suffer 6 wounds and go to zero right? But if the same creature
is
already wounded? If a creature has 6 wounds, is wounded 3 times and
then
hit by a Doomweaver (for example :-) ) what happend? Creatures go to 0 o
to
-3? I think it shold suffer the whole 6 wound, is senseless that a
massive
destruction happen only if it's "life gauge" is at max. This also avoid
that a model with 6 wounds, reduced to 0 and hit by a doomweaver suffer
no
damage...

---> A creature with wounds that is hit by an attack that usually
destroys a unit without wounds would inflict the maximum amount of
wounds the creature has at a given time. In other words if it has its
maximum wounds at the time its hit (lets say 6) it would lose all its
wounds (all six). If it has received wounds from other attacks (lets say
reducing it from 6 to 4) it would lose whatever wounds it had left to go
to zero (so if hit after having 4 wounds it would lose 4 to go to zero).

---> On a side note, you CAN continue to fire at a regenerating creature
after it has hit ZERO wounds in order to decrease its chances of
regenerating at least one wound. This is a typical ploy versus
bio-titans, in order to guarantee its destruction by sheer weight of
wound counters.

2) Bio Titan are immune to Doomweaver's monomolecular web? In the eldar
book said that Titan and all that have 1+ ST are immune to the web, but
I
think that Bio Titan should make an ecception, since they are made of
flesh
and bone not steel, and the Doomweaver is build to polverize such
materials. A similiar exception should be the Dominatrix.

---> Bio-titans don't have any area with a 1+ save, it's a weakness.
Therefore strictly speaking they can be affected by the web. It would
get the standard 4+ save to scuttle out of the way, BUT, if failed it
would do ONLY ONE WOUND. It can destroy lesser units, but a titan is
another matter. So no freebie "insta-kills" with this weapon. Of course
these will be things clarified when the time comes.
