Exactally, and this would be brining the rule very close to the Killing Blow special rule in fantasy and as I stated before GW definately likes to keep the two games as different as possible.

I just think they need to reword this section. Eariler in the book it says that you alocate wounds before armour saves and such, but here it says if you have multi-wound models that you have to basically "pile" them on to individual models so that you remove whole models instead of having 1 wound on each model or whatever.

Something as simple as just clarifiying when you check for instant death would work. Do you check it when wounds are first alocated, or after they have been alocated to multi-wound models as described in that section of the rules.
